마리아 가브리엘라: 두 판 사이의 차이

마리아 수녀는 1914년 사르디니아 섬 동부 해안에 있는 마을인 도르갈리의 양치기 가정에서 8명의 자녀 중 5번째로, '''마리아 사게두'''({{llang|it|Maria Sagghedu}}라는 이름으로 태어났다<ref name=vitorchiano>[http://www.trappistevitorchiano.it/lang/storia-beata-maria-gabriella-orazione/EN.pdf "Maria Gabriella Sagheddu",Vitorchiano Trappists]</ref>. 얼마 지나지 않아 1919년 아버지가 돌아가게 됐다<ref name=dom>[http://www.theanglocatholic.com/2011/02/bl-maria-gabriella-of-unity/ Dom Antoine Marie of the Abbey of St. Joseph of Clairval, "Bl. Maria Gabriella of Unity"]</ref>.

She was said to be obstinate as a child, but was also known to be loyal and obedient. "She would say no but she would go at once", is said of her.<ref name=weddell>[http://www.siena.org/November-2007/blessed-maria-gabriella-sagheddu-of-unity Weddell, Sherry Anne, "Blessed Maria Gabriella Sagheddu of Unity ", Catherine of Siena Institute]</ref> At the end of her primary studies, she had to leave school to help out at home where she showed herself serious and endowed with a great sense of duty.<ref name=dom/>

Motivated to deepen her piety after the death of her younger sister, Sagghedu enrolled in a Catholic youth group called "[[Azione Cattolica]]" when she was eighteen.<ref name=weddell/>  She began to instruct the local youth in the Catholic faith and to help the aged of the region. In the process, she began to intensify her prayer life.  At first, she taught catechism with a stick in hand. But one day the local priest took away the stick and replaced it with a note that said, "Arm yourself with patience, not a stick." Maria accepted the criticism and changed her methods.<ref name=dom/>

At the age of twenty, Sagghedu entered the Trappistine Abbey of [[Grottaferrata]],<ref name=vitorchiano/> near [[Rome]], on the [[Italian peninsula|Italian mainland]], where she was given the [[religious name]] of '''Maria Gabriella'''.  The [[abbess]] of the monastery at that time there was Mother Maria Pia Gullini, O.C.S.O., whose enthusiasm for [[ecumenism]] (a fruit of the efforts of [[Abbé]] [[Paul Couturier]]) was passed on to the community.<ref name=weddell/>  Devoted to this cause, she offered herself as a spiritual sacrifice for the unity of the [[Christian church]] during the [[Week of Prayer for Christian Unity]] of 1938.  She then immediately fell ill with tuberculosis, and, after suffering for 15 months, died on 23 April 1939.  Significantly, the [[Gospel]] reading for that Sunday included the words, "There will be one flock and one shepherd. (John 10:16)"
