Nun killed by her Catechism Students – (Bl. Maria Laura Mainetti)

Nun killed by her Catechism Students – (Bl. Maria Laura Mainetti)

Can you believe that her catechism children made a satanic sacrifice of an elderly nun? It did not occur in ancient times, but during our days.

Maria Laura was born as Teresina Elsa Mainetti on August 20, 1939, in the small town of Villatico, Lecco, North Italy. She was the tenth  child of Stefno Mainetti and Marcellina Gusmeroli. Her mother died twelve days after her birth. So her father married another woman to care for his children.

After her schooling in the Instituto Magistrale of the Sisters of the Cross in Parma, the 18 years old Mainetti joined their Religious Congregation. On her religious profession day on August 15, 1959, she took the name Maria Laura. She always remembered a priest  who advised her when she joined, “You must do something wonderful for others.”

When she pronounced her final  vows on August 24, 1964, she wrote in her diary, “Here I am… The joy of my service every instant in conformity with Your Divine Will. Daughter of the Cross means that the Cross is my mother. Not the wooden cross that you see hanging on the wall. But I am the bride, daughter, and sister of Jesus.”
