St. Bertilla Boscardin

St. Bertilla Boscardin

religious, nurse · 1888 – 1922
Here I am, Lord, to do your will.
— Heb 10:7

A poor girl whom her family called “the goose” because she seemed incapable. In the convent she first worked in the kitchen and laundry. During the First World War she cared tirelessly for wounded soldiers as a nurse. Humility and perseverance make the little ones great.
