Blessed Maria Theresia

Born in Germany in 1830, Mother Maria Theresia Bonzel founded the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration. These amazing nuns ran orphanages, served as battlefield nurses, and even outsmarted an oppressive government! To this day, the sisters carry on that legacy, completely devoted to Christ in the Eucharist and honoring their foundress' motto: "All as God wishes: He leads, I follow."
