Our American foundress, Mother Mary Maddalena Bentivoglio, died on this day in 1905. Mother Maddalena was extremely devoted to the Blessed Sacrament. One of the Sisters who lived with her wrote: Reverend Mother was very exact in reverence to the Blessed Sacrament never allowing us to go up and arrange flowers or candles while the Blessed Sacrament was exposed.
