ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN OCTOBER

Saints celebrated on the 30th of October

WELCOME!

BLESSED ANNA MARIA TAUSCHER VAN DEN BOSCH

Blessed Anna Maria Tauscher van den Bosch was born in the German Confederation on June 19, 1855 to Hermann Traugott Tauscher and Pauline van den Bosch. She came from a religious background for her father was a Protestant pastor.

From 1885 to 1888 she worked with those suffering mental disabilities at an institution in Cologne, but lost her job following her conversion. On October 30, 1888 she was received into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. 

Maria Theresia of Saint Joseph (her name in religion) founded the Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus on July 2, 1891 after having opened a home for neglected children just prior to that in Berlin. She made her vows in 1893.

The new Order took on the Carmelite charism to the fullest and coupled it with apostolic service. Her concern was directed to poor and neglected children in addition to families and individuals who had left the Church. Her order was also focused on immigrants and the aged. She published 'The Servant of God'.

Bl. Anna Maria moved to the Netherlands in 1899 to expand her congregation and to continue her work; the order was later aggregated to the Discalced Carmelites on October 25, 1904 and it later received the decree of praise from Pope Pius X on May 9, 1910. Pope Pius XI granted papal approval to the order on May 12, 1930.

Maria Theresia of Saint Joseph died on September 20, 1938. In 2005 there were 454 religious in 53 houses in nations such as Iceland and Nicaragua. Her feast day is not the day of her passing, but that of her entry into the Church.

Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Blessed Maria Theresia of Saint Joseph may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me; it will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. THE AUGUST 13 EVENTS On August 13, the children were in jail at Ourem.

At noon, there was a loud clap of thunder. Then, according to an eyewitness: “Right after the thunder came a flash, and immediately we all noticed a little cloud, very white, beautiful and bright,...
