The Life of Bl. Louise Albertoni, Widow, Third Order (d. 1533) for the Franciscan Saint of the Day for Feb 27. Louise was born of a wealthy family, married a pious man, and was widowed at 33. She dedicated herself to the service of God and entered third order, meditating on the sufferings of Christ and caring for the poor with her wealth to the point of often being needy herself.
Reflection is on loving God above all things and so loving all others.
