Saints celebrated on the 23rd of January
BLESSED BENEDETTA BIANCHI PORRO
Blessed Benedetta Bianchi Porro died on January 23, 1964 aged 27. An aspiring doctor, she was stricken with Recklinghausen Disease/Neuro-Fibromatosis, which led to her becoming wheelchair-bound, blind and deaf.
Even from her sickroom, she spread faith, hope, and charity. "My soul is full of gratitude and love of God," she said.
Her body is interred in the Benedictine Church of Saint Andrew, Dovadola, Italy. Blessed Benedetta was beatified by Pope Francis on September 14, 2019.
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of the blessed Benedetta 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.
