Nov. 13 marks the anniversary of the martydom of Agostina Livia Pietrantoni (1864-1894) , Congregation of the Sisters of the Charity of Saint Jeanne-Antide Thouret
The very short life of Sister Agostina, which inspired Paul VI, the Pope who beatified her, to relate it in extraordinarily poetical terms, began and unfolded itself: “simple, transparent, pure, loving…but ended sorrowfully and tragically… or rather symbolically.”
