The Saints of the Missal. Benedetta Bianchi Porro. Her Life, Writings

Blessed Benedetta Bianchi Porro was a young Italian woman who died at just 27 years of age. Although she had suffered from paralysis and blindness since adolescence due to a degenerative disease, she lived a life of profound faith and great hope. Her testimony of joy and acceptance of suffering has inspired many people. Having been beatified, she is recognized as an example of heroic virtue and holiness in everyday life. It is precisely for this reason that we have dedicated a publication in this series to her, taking her as a model to imitate in order to become saints through the challenges of everyday life. In this volume, Father Andrea Vena sketches the life of Blessed Benedetta Bianchi Porro, weaving the account together with the testimonies of Benedetta's brothers and sisters and also offering us an anthology drawn from her letters.
