St. Juliana Falconieri (1270 to 1341)
 Foundress of the Sisters Of The Third Order Of Servites
St. Juliana had a great reverence and devotion to our Lady of Sorrows and to the Blessed Sacrament. Thru her adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, often in ecstasy for days, she saved the Servite Order. On the day of her death and gravely ill, she begged to be allowed once more to see and adore the Blessed Sacrament. It was brought to her cell and reverently laid on a corporal, which was placed over her heart. At this moment she expired, and the Sacred Host disappeared. After her death the form of the Host was found stamped upon her heart, at the exact spot over which the Blessed Sacrament had been placed.

Widow and 13th Century Mystic

It deepens the abyss of humility, above all it enkindles the flame of love in the heart; hence the Sacrament is the Gift of gifts, and the Grace of graces..."
