Giulia Crostarosa (31 October 1696 – 14 September 1755) was an Italian Roman Catholic nun who founded the Redemptoristine Nuns. She had a series of visions in her life that led to the establishment of her order which was bestowed upon it a rule of its own. She assumed the name of Maria Celeste when she became a nun. Pope Francis declared her to be Venerable for her life of heroic virtue on 3 June 2013. A miracle attributed to her intercession needed for beatification is now under investigation. ==Life== Giulia Crostarosa was born on 31 October 1696 in Naples with the baptismal name of Giulia Marcella Crostarosa. She was born to Francesco Crostarosa and Paola Battistini Caldari; descended from the Lords of Abruzzo and Aquila. Crostarosa was immersed in spiritual life and accompanied her sister Ursula to Marigliano to become a nun. She remained in the convent for under a decade and she moved in 1724 out of the convent. Her first recorded vision of Jesus Christ was on 25 April 1725 when she was still a novice. In another vision Christ revealed the new institute and the suffering that would result from its creation. After a period of time the theologians confirmed the divine experiences that she had. After she became a nun she assumed the name of "Maria Celeste". In September 1730 she met Alphonsus Liguori - future saint. Crostarosa left La Scala in 1733 and went to Nocera Inferiore. It was in Foggia on 19 March 1738 that she established the Redemptoristine Nuns. She served as the order's superior for under two decades. She had the esteem of Liguori and Gerard Majella - future saint. Giulia Crostarosa died in Foggia on 14 September 1755. Her spiritual experiences are contained in numerous documents of considerable value. 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「Giulia Crostarosa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
