SUMMARY:Blessed Mary Angela Truszkowska
DESCRIPTION:Blessed Mary Angela Truszkowska\nSaint of the Day for January 30\n(May 16\, 1825 – October 10\, 1899)\nClick to hear audio clip ►\nBlessed Mary Angela Truszkowska’s Story\nToday we honor a woman who submitted to God’s will throughout her life—a life filled with pain and suffering. \nBorn in 1825 in central Poland and baptized Sophia\, she contracted tuberculosis as a young girl. The forced period of convalescence gave her ample time for reflection. Sophia felt called to serve God by working with the poor\, including street children and the elderly homeless in Warsaw’s slums. In time\, her cousin joined her in the work. \nIn 1855\, the two women made private vows and consecrated themselves to the Blessed Mother. New followers joined them. Within two years\, they formed a new congregation\, which came to be known as the Felician Sisters. As their numbers grew\, so did their work\, and so did the pressures on Mother Angela (the new name Sophia took in religious life). \nMother Angela served as superior for many years until ill health forced her to resign at the age of 44. She watched the order grow and expand\, including missions to the United States among the sons and daughters of Polish immigrants. \nPope John Paul II beatified her in 1993. \n\nReflection\nLike Saints Francis of Assisi and Ignatius of Antioch\, Blessed Mary Angela experienced a conversion while convalescing from an illness. The Lord can use sickness as well as other situations to speak to the heart of an individual. This does not imply that God caused the illness; just that he used the opportunity to speak to Blessed Angela’s heart. \n\nThe Liturgical Feast of Blessed Mary Angela Truszkowska is October 10.\n\nAnother Saint of the Day for January 30 is Saint Hyacinth of Mariscotti.
