TRUSZKOWSKA, MARIA ANGELA

TRUSZKOWSKA, MARIA ANGELA. - Foundress of the Sisters of S. Felice da Cantalice (Felicians), of the Third Order of S. Francesco; in secular life Sofia Camilla, b. at Kalisz (Poland) on 16 May 1825, d. at Cracovia on 10 Oct. 1899.

the affair ended in a resounding triumph for the Pope. Deposed and mutilated, then restored to the throne, Giustiniano wished to know from Giovanni VII (705-707) which canons he did not approve. But the distrustful Pope returned the acts without adding anything. Pope Costantino I (708-15), however, complied with the imperial injunction to come to Costantinopoli, where he was received with every

rato, the new Congregation, whose purpose is to make reparation for the offenses offered to Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament, through adoration and works of charity. After 12 years of government and 30 years of physical and moral sufferings, T. died in the odor of sanctity. In 1947 the informative process concerning her virtues for beatification was begun at Cracovia.
