Quote for Thought: Blessed Anna Rosa Gattorno
Yesterday, Blessed Anna Rosa Gattorno of Italy (born 1831) was the Saint of the Day on my Laudate App. The description of her life started with this quote from her:
“My love, what can I do to make the whole world love you? … Make use once again of this wretched instrument to renew the faith and the conversion of sinners.”
Such devotion always amazes and inspires me. Blessed Anna Rosa was also a mother, so that amazes me even more :), that she could focus so fully on her love despite the hectic pace of life as a mom. Her dedication also reminds me of my patron saint St. Therese of Lisieux. I can only aspire to such complete and utter devotion.
My elderly mother had a book about the life of Blessed Anna Rosa Gattorno. She is in a nursing home and has misplaced the book. She thinks it is called “Madre Rosa Gattorno”. Can anyone advise where I may purchase this book in Sydney? Your urgent assistance would be most appreciated.
Thank You
