She Walked by Faith – 19 June 1882

“She came in faith, not knowing what would unfold—yet trusting entirely in God’s Providence.”

On this day, 143 years ago, Mother Mary of the Passion arrived in Rome, accompanied by two Sisters.
Her first stop was the Basilica of Santa Maria in Aracoeli, where she handed her letter of recommendation to the Very Reverend Father General.

This humble act opened a path of grace. From this moment, a deep spiritual guidance began that would shape our Institute for years to come.

Let us walk today with the same spirit of trust, obedience, and courage.
