Biography
Blessed Angelina di Marsciano, destined to the Italian nobility, the girl of the Duke of Marciano, and Anna, little girl of the Count of Corbara; her mom kicked the bucket when Angelina was 12. Given in an orchestrated marriage at age 15 to the Duke of Civitella, Giovanni da Terni, who consented to respect the young lady’s private promise of virtuousness. Bereft at age 17, she immediately moved to pursue a call to religious life before another marriage could be orchestrated. She gave away her riches and property to poor people, turned into a Franciscan tertiary, and ventured to every part of the wide open, lecturing repentence and celibacy.
On account of her accentuation on purity, she was blamed for lecturing the Manichaean apostasy, some portion of which restricts marriage; for good measure, there were charges of black magic, too, and she was captured. Lord Ladislas of Naples absolved her everything being equal, but since of the interruption to open request that she caused, he prohibited her from the kingdom.
Moving her base of activities to the congregation of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Assisi, Italy, Angelina had a dream wherein she was advised to establish a cloister for ladies tertiaries in Foligno, Italy. With the bishop’s endorsement, she established the sequestered Santa Anna religious circle in 1397 to think about the wiped out, poor, widows and vagrants. It was succesful to the point that other, comparative houses were before long opened in other Italian urban communities, and when of her demise she was administering 12 places of tertiaries, and at one point there were 135 partnered religious circles.
