Pierina Gilli (August 3, 1911- January 12, 1991), was a Roman Catholic Italian visionary born in the municipality of Montichiari which is located in the Brescia province of the Lombardy region in northern Italy).〔(Sutlovich, Paul, "Maria Rosa Mystica:1947-1991" )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Feast of Rosa Mystica on Friday )〕 She died there when she was 79 years old.〔''"Historia de Pierina Gilli"'': http://rosamystica13.com/page5.php〕 She is mainly known as the mystic seer to whom the Blessed Virgin Mary revealed herself as Rosa Mystica, especially in regard to Our Lady's maternal role pertaining to her deeply beloved consecrated souls of priests and of male and female members of religious institutes within the Roman Catholic Church.〔〔''"Montichiari-Fontanelle: Apparitions of Our Lady, Rosa Mystica"'', MaryPages (website): http://www.marypages.com/MontichiariEng.htm〕 == Childhood == Pierina Gilli was born on August 3, 1911, in the San Giorgio section of the northern Italian municipality of Montichiari.〔 Her parents, Pancrazio Gilli and Rosa Bartoli, had three children, of which Pierina was the eldest. Her family was poor, as her father worked as a daily hired farm-worker. Due to its limited household income, the family often moved to various residences in Montichiari.〔"''Pierina Gilli: Prima Parte"'': http://www.entraevedi.org/Notizie%20sulla%20vita%20di%20P.Gilli.htm〕 When Pierina was seven years old her father, died, leaving her mother to support the three children. Between 1918 and 1922, Pierina was placed in a Montichiari orphanage, conducted by the sisters of the Handmaids of Charity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.ancelledellacarita.it/sito/storia.asp?lang=1 )〕 This experience had a lasting impact on Pierina. Pierina received her First Holy Communion in the orphanage when she was eight.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.rosamisticafontanelle.it/ITA/Associazione/Associazione_Rosa_Mistica.asp )〕 Pierina returned to her family to assist her mother with the care of her two younger siblings, at the age of 11. At age 12, her mother (who was now remarried), and eight siblings moved to live in a cottage with her step-family.〔Nine children, altogether: Pierina and her two full siblings, and six other children by the step-father〕 Pierina claimed she had received inappropriate attention from her step-father. Although not wishing to introduce any discord into these two families that were now living together, Pierina eventually confided everything to her mother.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.preghiereagesuemaria.it/libri/maria%20rosa%20mistica%20a%20montichiari%20fontanelle%20apparizione.htm )〕 Partly due to that trauma, Pierina decided to consider a vocation in the religious life at age seventeen. Her confessor advised her to wait, in order to further discern any genuine religious calling to the consecrated life.〔 Despite all of Pierina's troubles, a soothing glimpse of her caring and devout family upbringing can be observed by this early childhood reminiscence from Pierina's diary: ''"I was the first of nine children, I the first to be delighted in the joy, the bliss, and the caresses of my parents. The day of 3 August 1911 was the dawn of my earthly coming, and I was baptized on August 5, the feast of the Madonna of the Snow; on that given day, my Mamma consecrated me to the true Mamma in Heaven, so that her maternal protection would preserve me as white and pure as snow. How many times my dear Mamma repeated to me, by spurring me to be good and and not to be capricious, because I was consecrated to the Madonna and therefore I must love her very much."''.〔 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「Pierina Gilli」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
