Our roots go back to a dream and an intuition: St Geltrude Comensoli's dream of founding a religious institute dedicated to adoration; and the intuition of Pope Leo XIII who suggested that she dedicate herself to the human and spiritual care of young girls, especially workers.
on 15 December 1882 in Bergamo, the first adoration before the picture of the Sacred Heart began. The beginnings are humble, modest and the hearts are full of enthusiasm and trepidation.We are women who welcome the Eucharistic Presence of Christ with wonder and gratitude and want to be his reflection in our times. In our prayer and life, like St Gertrude, our foundress, we are committed to be “Little Sacraments”, signs of God's love. Everywhere we spread the love that Jesus gives us with burning charity
On 26 April 2009, Pope Benedict XVI proclaimed her a saint. He emphasising the relevance of her testimony said, “In a lost and often wounded society, as is ours, to today's youth who are in search of values and of a meaning to give to their existence, Saint Gertrude indicates, as a firm point of reference, the God who in the Eucharist has become a companion on our journey
Our charism reflects the unique spirit and mission that inspires and guides our actions, rooted in compassion, service, and a deep commitment to the community.
Jesus-Eucharist is the love of our life and we want to tell everyone! By being with Him, we get to know Him better and better, we discover Him at work in our life and in history. The prayer of adoration is the soul of our mission in the world.
We teach in schools and it is the work we treasure.
Striving for the highest standards in everything we undertake.
I want to become a saint, to be a faithful image of the Crucified Christ, my Good ... another Jesus”: Jesus is for her a source of true freedom, peace and joy even in the most painful situations. “Burning charity” towards God and the neighbours became the source and nourishment for the life of the Sacramentine Family she founded.
