"Before I formed you in your mother's womb, I knew you...

....before you were born, I set you apart...(Jer.1:5)

What you are is God’s gift to you,

…What you become is your gift to God…

She was born into the world on February 4,1805, in the mountainous and barren soil

of Vallecorsa, Italy.

“How fortunate are we to have been Born in the bosom of the Church.”

St. Maria De Mattias

Through the loving presence of her Father, at the age of 8, Maria’s heart was drawn to an ardent love of Jesus…

…in the image of a Paschal Lamb who was led to death and given His Blood

for the Salvation of the World.

Through the inspiration

of St. Gaspar Del

Bufalo( Founder of

the Missionaries of the Most

Precious Blood) in

the Popular Mission on

1822

and the Spiritual Guidance of Don Giovanni Merlini

She began to act in a way that they did not understand, she removed her vanities, and lived contradicting the ideals of her time.

…like Mary after the Annunciation and upon knowing the condition of her cousin Elizabeth, SET OUT IN A HURRY to respond to the needs of the Church in her time.

To bring back the “beautiful order of things” which theGreat Son of God came to Establish inHis own Blood…

Maria Gave Birth to the Congregation of the

Adorers of the Blood of Christ.

…a Congregation that will collaborate with Christ in His work of Redemption.

…a witness to God’s Love in thier own lives and led others to the knowledge and Love of Jesus Crucified.

St. Maria De Mattias was canonized in 2003,

a model of Holiness in the Church.

The Adorers did not have as its goal a particular ministry. Rather it took its inspiration

from the Mystery of the Blood of Christ

and sought to bring its power to God’s people, especially women and girls.

Now there are almost 2000 Adorers present in 27 countries all over the

world.

Eventually, the seeds sown in Acuto was scattered all over the world.
