Saints celebrated on the 21st of May
LUCIA PASALLI, VIRGIN
Because she seemed retarded to them, Lucia Pasalli's parents disposed of her by putting her into a convent. Therefore, Lucia's new home from then on was the convent of St Matthew of the Order of Preachers at Bologna. In this convent, she grew in virtue to such an extent that she was chosen by Christ to be his bride and adorned with a ring. She is mentioned by the Bollandists [hagiographers].
