Blessed Santuccia Terrebotti,
Feast day: March 21
Born in Gubbio, Umbria, Italy;
Died 1305.
Santuccia married and bore a daughter who died young. She and her husband mutually agreed to separate and enter religious life. She became a Benedictine at Gubbio and rose to be an abbess. Under her the community migrated to Santa Maria in Via Lata, on the Julian Way, Rome. There she inaugurated a stricter adherence to live the Benedictine Rule, although the sisters are usually called the Servants of Mary, popularly called Le Santuccie

I admire how Santuccia dedicated herself fully to religious life.
