Maria Fortunata Viti
Blessed Maria Fortunata Viti, O.S.B. (born Anna Felicia Viti; 10 February 1827 – 20 November 1922) was an Italian Benedictine nun who has been beatified by the Roman Catholic Church.
==Life==
Anna Felicia Viti was born in Veroli, a ''comune'' in Italy's Province of Frosinone, on 10 February 1827. Her father was Luigi Viti, a landowner who was a gambling addict and a heavy drinker,〔 and her mother Anna, ''née'' Bono, died when Maria was fourteen years old. The third eldest of nine children, Maria was saddled with the responsibility of raising the other children upon the death of her mother. In order to support her family, she worked as a housekeeper.〔 Her father's alcoholism grew worse, and so Maria's employment constituted the majority of the family's income. For a while, she was wooed by a young man from Alatri, but she decided to enter religious life instead.〔
Maria joined the Benedictines at the Monastery of San Maria de'Franconi in Veroli on 21 March 1851, at the age of 24.〔 After her religious profession, she took the name Maria Fortunata. Though she spent more than seventy years in the Order, she never progressed beyond the office of housekeeper: she served the monastery by spinning, sewing, washing, and mending clothing.〔 Sister Maria remained illiterate her entire life, but she had great devotion to the Blessed Sacrament.〔〔
At the age of 95, Sister Maria died on 20 November 1922 in Veroli, of natural causes.〔
