Eurosia Fabris

However, she was still able to learn enough to read several religious texts in her youth, most notably the Bible, the Catechism, about the history of the Roman Catholic Church, the Philothea of Francis de Sales, and the Eternal Maxims of Alphonsus Liguori.

The eighteen-year-old Fabris, commonly known as "Rosina", received several marriage proposals, as she was observed to be a dedicated, pious and hardworking woman.

After this act of charity, Fabris contemplated the events through prayer and, following the advice of her relatives and that of the parish priest, she decided to marry their father.

She dedicated her life to her family, teaching her children to pray, to obey, and to practice Christian virtues, reputedly sacrificing her own needs to do so.

Her success in these regards is attested by the ordination of three of her sons as Catholic priests, including the Franciscan friar Bernardino, who would become her first biographer.

It is reported in her biographies that, even in times of crisis, she managed to balance the family budget, while exercising great charity towards the poor, especially towards orphans of World War I.

In 2004, a miracle was officially recognized by the Catholic Church as having come through her intervention; she is said to have healed a sick woman thought by doctors to be beyond recovery.
