Helen Enselmini
Helen Enselmini, O.S.C. ((イタリア語:Elena Enselmini)), also known as the Blessed Helen of Arcella (1207–1231/1242), was a Italian Franciscan nun who has been beatified by the Catholic Church.
==Life==
Enselmini was born in Padua, from an impoverished noble family of the region. About 1220, St. Francis of Assisi, recently returned from the Middle East, went to that city to supervise the opening of a monastery of Poor Clares on land donated in the nearby village of Arcella, to which was attached a small friary of the Friars Minor he had founded. Moved by a sermon she heard him give on the streets of Padua, Enselmini was inspired to become a Poor Clare at the age of 12, according to tradition receiving the religious habit from Francis himself.
Although she was always in frail health, Enselmini spent the rest of her life living the full rigor of the Rule of St. Clare, including frequent fasting, poverty of life and manual labor, without complaint. She was said to have had the gift of inedia, living solely off the Blessed Sacrament for months. Her health declined severely later in life, however, and she became both blind and mute in her last years, which she accepted with patience.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Blessed Helen Enselmini )〕 She is said to have been advised and comforted during this period by St. Anthony of Padua. She died on 4 November 1231 (or 1242) of natural causes.
