Writings
“My Dear and good Jesus, suffering has been my
joy, the gift that has allowed me to meet you, the greatest love
of my life. I am ready to accept for love of you all the
suffering that you, Jesus, ask of me.”
Part of Sister Carmelina’s
Testament
“…I have always loved you and I will take all of
you with me. I will help you from heaven, I will pray for you
and I will continue working with you. I love all of you; for me
you are all my family and you are all equal. Even though I was
not always able to respond immediately, with time I did. I have
never spared myself, never neglecting anyone…”
MEMORIAL
IN HONOR OF
SR. CARMELINA TARANTINO OF THE CROSS, C.P.
On October 13, 1995, Fr. Claudio Piccinini, C.P. announced his
intention to erect, at Teopoli, a monument to Sr. Carmelina
Tarantino and new Stations of the Cross dedicated to her memory.
There is no doubt Sr. Carmelina deserves this recognition and
all those who have come to know and love her want this
opportunity to thank her.
Sr. Carmelina helped thousands of people by making herself
available to listen to them and pray for them, even though she
was hospitalized and afflicted with illness for most of her
life. She dedicated the best of her energies and prayers for
the realization of the mission of Societa' Unita and especially,
Teopoli.
The time has now come to express, with Fr. Claudio, our
gratitude for all that Sr. Carmelina did and taught us through
her example, sacrifices and words of encouragement.
Meanwhile, let's strive to recall and imitate her great virtues,
may they be an influence in our lives, our children and our
children's children life.
