CARAFA, ROSA dei duchi di TRAETTO, venerabile. - Handmaid of the Sacred Heart, b. in Naples on 6 April 1832, d. there on 2 May 1890. She lived in retirement within her family, until, after her father's death, in 1875 Archbishop Riario Sforza urged her toward external activity, considering her among the Oblates when, two years later, at the invitation of the venerable Volpicelli, she entered the latter's institute, to which by her example and her direction of works she attracted vocations. She had almost continuous and painful illnesses and extraordinary gifts of prayer. She was a Franciscan tertiary. On 28 Aug. 1907 the cause of her beatification was introduced.
