Eventually she was given permission to be trained as a nurse, and she displayed a special gift for work- ing with children suffering from diphtheria. During World War I, the hospital was taken over by the Italian army to care for its wounded. Sister Bertilla be- came well-known to military and authorities for her compas- sion, dedication, and unwavering care of those who could not be moved, even in time of terror, when the hospital was un- der fire and subject to bombing. She wrote in her diary, “Here I am, Lord, to do your will whatever comes.” After the war, she was reassigned to another hospi- tal where she took charge of a children’s ward. Her reputa- tion for simplicity and hard work left a deep impression on those who knew her. Sister Bertilla had suffered a number of years with a painful tumor, and she finally died on October 20, 1922.
