SUMMARY:Saint Magdalen of Canossa
DESCRIPTION:Saint Magdalen of Canossa\nSaint of the Day for April 10\n(March 1\, 1774 – April 10\, 1835)\nhttps://www.franciscanmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/SODApr10.mp3\nSaint Magdalen of Canossa’s Story\nWealth and privilege did nothing to prevent today’s saint from following her calling to serve Christ in the poor. Nor did the protests of her relatives\, concerned that such work was beneath her. \nBorn in northern Italy in 1774\, Magdalen knew her mind—and spoke it. At age 15 she announced she wished to become a nun. After trying out her vocation with the cloistered Carmelites\, she realized her desire was to serve the needy without restriction. For years she worked among the poor and sick in hospitals and in their homes\, and also among delinquent and abandoned girls. \nIn her mid-twenties Magdalen began offering lodging to poor girls in her own home. In time she opened a school\, which offered practical training and religious instruction. As other women joined her in the work\, the new Congregation of the Canossian Daughters of Charity–or Canossian Sisters–emerged. Over time\, houses were opened throughout Italy. \nMembers of the new religious congregation focused on the educational and spiritual needs of women. Magdalen also founded a smaller congregation for priests and brothers. Both groups continue to this day. \nMagdalen died in 1835. Pope John Paul II canonized her in 1988. \n\nReflection\nLet us pray to Saint Magdalen for the many young women who are caught up in the sex trafficking epidemic of our day.
