Born in 1825 in central Poland and baptized Sophia, she contracted tuberculosis as a young girl. The forced period of convalescence gave her ample time for reflection. Sophia felt called to serve God by working with the poor, including street children and the elderly homeless in Warsaw’s slums. In time, her cousin joined her in the work. In 1855, the two women made private vows and consecrated themselves to the Blessed Mother. New followers joined them. Within two years, they formed a new congregation, which came to be known as the Felician Sisters, based on Franciscan spirituality. As their numbers grew, so did their work, and so did the pressures on Mother Angela (the new name Sophia took in religious life). Mother Angela served as superior for many years until ill health forced her to resign at the age of 44. She watched the order grow and expand, including missions to the United States among the sons and daughters of Polish immigrants. The order is very active today. Pope John Paul II beatified Mother Angela in 1993. Her liturgical feast is celebrated on October 10. The prayer cards which come with our rosaries, medals and pictures are home-made, created using a "greeting card" program on a computer and printed in full color on nice quality paper. Although they are not like the usual smaller professionally printed prayer cards, most of our customers prefer them since they are like a pamphlet with 4 "pages" and several images, prayers, patronages and often other information about the saint or Catholic devotion. Please visit our Ebay store for our other rosaries, chaplets, and religious medals. We also have religious pictures decorated with real pressed flowers, homegrown herbs and handmade Potpourri.Pray the Rosary every day for World Peace!! <img src="http://ti2.auctiva.com/web/aswCredit.gif" border="0"><br><a href="http://www.auctiva.com/?how=scLnk2" target="_blank"><img src="http://ti2.auctiva.com/images/sc1line2.gif" border="0"></a><div style="text-align:center"><a style="text-decoration:none" href="http://mostpopular.sellathon.com/?id=AC350938"><img src="http://www.sellathon.com/Resources/Images/countercredit.gif" border="0"></a></div>
