Blessed Giovanna Francesca Michelotti (29 August 1843 – 1 February 1888), born Anna Michelotti, was an Italian Roman Catholic nun. Michelotti assumed the name of "Giovanna Francesca" upon becoming a nun and served the poor. She established her own religious congregation which she named the Little Servants of the Sacred Heart of Jesus for the Sick Poor. She was beatified on 1 November 1975. ==Life== Anna Michelotti was born on 29 August 1843 in France and remained fatherless as a child. She had at least one brother. She lived in a poor state and despite this she grew in her faith as well as her undivided attention to the plight of all of those who were poor. This marked the beginning of her calling to religious life. Michelotti travelled across France for her studies at the Institute of the Sisters of Saint Charles and she asked to enter their novitiate. Despite this her path was elsewhere. In 1863 she was left alone with the death of her mother and her brother Antonio. She went to her paternal relatives in Almese and later went to Turin. It was there in 1874 shat she donned the habit for the first time and made her solemn profession. To work with the poor and the sick she - in 1875 - established her own religious order in order to devote efforts to them alone. She served as a teacher for a brief period of time and spent her time at the tomb of Saint Francis de Sales. She used her free time to read and meditate on sacred scripture and would work in spreading the message of Jesus Christ across to the poor as well as bringing to them the sacraments. Before she made major decisions she sought the advice of confessors such as Saint John Bosco. Michelotti died in 1888 after a long period of ill health in the form of bronchial asthma. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Giovanna Francesca Michelotti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
