    Beata Leopoldina Naudet, Vergine Memoria Facoltativa

    Beata Leopoldina Naudet, vergine Memoria facoltativa Nota biografica Infanzia e prima educazione Leopoldina Naudet nacque a Firenze il 31 maggio 1773 da Giuseppe padre francese e Susanna d’Arnth madre tedesca, entrambi impiegati al servizio del granduca Leopoldo I d’Asburgo-Lorena, che fu suo padrino di battesimo. A tre anni rimase orfana della madre. Nel 1778, a cinque anni, venne messa nel monastero delle Oblate agostiniane, dette di san Giuseppe, presso la chiesa di san Frediano in Castello (FI), insieme alla sorella Luisa, con cui convisse a lungo, restandole sempre molto legata. Leopoldina si distinse per il suo comportamento e per il suo spirito di preghiera, tanto che ricevette la Cresima e la Prima Comunione prima del tempo (rispettivamente nel 1781 e il 28 marzo 1782). Con la sorella a Soissons Nel 1783, le due sorelle, per interessamento del granduca, furono accompagnate dal padre in Francia, per proseguire gli studi e completare la loro educazione presso il collegio-chiostro delle Dame di Nostra Signora di Soissons, città d’origine della loro famiglia. Leopoldina progredì notevolmente dal punto di vista culturale, padroneggiando meglio le lingue (francese, tedesco e italiano), visitando insieme al padre chiese e musei di Parigi e leggendo molti libri. Anche la sua maturità spirituale avanzava: si recava spesso a pregare nella chiesa del monastero e, aiutata da una delle suore, imparò a irrobustire il suo carattere molto sensibile. Istitutrice dei figli del granduca Ormai sedicenne, nel 1789 Leopoldina ritornò con la sorella a Firenze, dove due anni prima era morto anche il padre. Le due vennero invitate alla corte di Leopoldo I a Palazzo Pitti: ebbero il compito di “cameriste”, cioè istitutrici dei figli del granduca.

The convent, established in 1854 in central Singapore, is now the ‗premier lifestyle destination‘, CHIJMES. I show that the Sisters were early providers of social services and girls‘ education, with an orphanage, women‘s refuge and schools for girls. They survived the turbulent years of the Japanese Occupation of Singapore and adapted to the priorities of the new government after independence, expanding to become the largest cloistered convent in Southeast Asia.

Like everything else even that has passed. The Jubilee celebration is over. I pray that each of us has found it a year of grace and blessings when we responded to the invitation of Jesus to return to God the merciful Father. For those of us who felt that we have missed on the Kairos moments and have not responded to His mercy, the Holy Father reminded us that while the year has come to a close “the true door of mercy, which is the heart of Christ, always remains open wide for us”. Indeed for each of us the Year of Mercy was a call to “rediscover the youthful, beautiful face of the Church, the face that is radiant when it is welcoming, free, faithful, poor in means but rich in love, on mission.” Each day we see ongoing conflicts that inflict suffering on children, women and men alike.
