Life

Maria Dulce Rodrigues dos Santos was born in 1901 in Brazil. She decided to consecrate herself to God and became a nun. She assumed the name of "Maria Teresa of the Eucharistic Jesus" after admittance.

She established the Little Missionary Sisters of Mary Immaculate with a focus on the Blessed Virgin Mary while catering to the needs of those who were underprivileged, ailing and poor.

She died in 1972.[2]

Beatification process

The beatification process was introduced in Brazil with the declaration of "nihil obstat" (nothing against) and it bestowed upon her the title of Servant of God; the cause opened in 1997. The process opened on a local level and it spanned from 17 August 1997 to 25 November 2001; the process was ratified in 2003.

Pope Francis recognized her life of heroic virtue and conferred on her the title of Venerable on 3 April 2014. A miracle attributed to her was investigated and the process of that investigation was ratified on 8 February 2013.

gollark: There would be another bit for managing your "VMs", doing entirely pointless autoscaling and whatnot.
gollark: That would save a lot of programming, mean I wouldn't have to work around the nonexistent support for that one feature my canvas code needs, *and* involve more cloud.
gollark: Great idea, my "cloud platform" can just use Cloud Catcher for the UI!
gollark: The idea is for this thing to stream TRoR to/from a headless CCEmuX (ideally CraftOS-PC eventually) instance to either a browser or ingame computers, possibly with extensions for local peripheral control and stuff.
gollark: I mean, I could, sure?
