Blessed Maria Candida of the Eucharist

(1884 - 1949)

"I ask my Jesus to be a guardian of all the tabernacles

 of the world,  until the end of time."

The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist

The Monstrance and the Holy Eucharist

Text Box:

Maria was the daughter of Pietro Barba, an appellate court judge. She was raised in Palermo, Sicily.
At the age of 10, she made her first Communion. From an early age, she had an intense devotion to the Eucharist  
At the age of fifteen, she felt a call to religious life, but her family, though pious, opposed her vocation.
 
It was not until Maria's 35th year that she was able to follow the call into Religious life.
It was then that she entered the Discalced Teresian Carmel at Ragusa, Italy on 25 September 1919.  Maria took the name "Maria Candida of the Eucharist. "
 
Her spiritual life was dominated by Eucharistic devotion and she would spend hours before the Host.
 
Maria was voted as Prioress of her house from 1924 to 1947. During this time, she greatly expanded the Carmel in Sicily,
and promoted devotion to Saint Teresa of Jesus ( of Avila) and her Rule within her Order.
 
Later, she wrote a small book titled "The Eucharist,"  It is a description of her experiences and theological meditations on them.

Prayer:

The Angel's Prayer at Fatima

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

I adore Thee profoundly.

I offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ,

 present in all the tabernacles of the world,

in reparation for the outrages,

sacrileges and indifference by which He is offended.

And through the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart,

and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,

I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners

Amen
