Saint of the Day – 29 March – Blessed Cecilia Attendoli (Died 1531) OFM Virgin and Third Order Nun of Cotignola, Italy (Franciscan Martyrology).
Blessed Cecilia Attendoli of Cotignola was a Nun who lived between the 15th and 16th Centuries.
Little and scant information has been preserved about this blessed nun and in the past some authors have mistakenly idetified her as Cecilia Codignola da Vigevano.
Blessed Cecilia belonged to the Third Order of Saint Francis. She lived her entire life in the monastery of Santa Chiara in Mortara.
Tradition tells us she was a woman of virtue who performed miracles during her lifetime and was taken by her father to the Poor Clare Monastery in Mortara.
Her name is associated with two Blessed Poor Clares of the same Monastery, Blessed Ippolita di Melegnano and Blessed Elisabetta (or Lisabetta).
The casket containing the Relics of Bl Cecilia may be located in the Basilica of San Lorenzo.
Passionate Catholic.
Being a Catholic is a way of life - a love affair "Religion must be like the air we breathe..."- St John Bosco
Prayer is what the world needs combined with the example of our lives which testify to the Light of Christ.
This site, which is now using the Traditional Calendar, will mainly concentrate on Daily Prayers, Novenas and the Memorials and Feast Days of our friends in Heaven, the Saints who went before us and the great blessings the Church provides in our Catholic Monthly Devotions.
This Site is placed under the Patronage of my many favourite Saints and especially, St Paul.
"For the Saints are sent to us by God
as so many sermons.
We do not use them, it is they who move us
and lead us, to where we had not expected to go.”
Charles Cardinal Journet (1891-1975)
This site adheres to the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church and all her teachings. .
