Blessed Jane Scopelli
Virgin
July 9: An Optional Memorial from the Common of Virgins.
 Born in Regio Emilia in 1428, Blessed Jane took the Carmelite
habit, living at first in her home and later in the monastery founded in that
city, where she became prioress. She had a special devotion to the Blessed
Virgin Mary. She died in 1491.
Prayer
Lord our God,
may the witness of your faithful bride the virgin Blessed
Jane Scopelli
awaken the fire of divine love in our hearts.
May it inspire other young women
to give their lives
to the service of Christ and his Church.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
