St. Teresa Margaret Redi

The Carmelite nun Anna Maria Redi, born in 1747, was a native of Florence, Italy. She entered the Carmelites in 1765 and took the name Sister Teresa Margaret. She died at the age of twenty-three, but in the very brief time of her life in the cloister, she displayed a remarkable prayerlife and a deeply penitential demeanor.

She died on March 7, 1770, at Florence, and was canonized in 1934 by Pope Pius XI. Her Feast Day is March 7.
