It all began with the life of a young woman named Jeanne<\/strong> (Joana) Haze, born in Belgium, in the city of Li\u00e8ge. She was born into a noble Catholic family of Christian tradition and means, but the circumstances of war led the family into poverty. Initially, the family was supported by the manual work of the young women and, later, by the schools they opened.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the French Revolution, seeing the extreme need and suffering of the people, she felt called by God<\/strong> to respond to that situation. Together with her sister Ferdinande<\/strong> (Fernanda), she began caring for young people and the sick in the surrounding area, while also welcoming and teaching poor children in their own home. Gradually, other companions joined them and helped them continue serving those most in need.<\/p>\n

In the beginning, they faced many difficulties. After a long journey of light and darkness, crosses and challenges, the group grew, and its works expanded and spread.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finally, on September 8, 1833<\/strong>, the group was officially recognized by decree of the Holy See in Rome as the Congregation of the Daughters of the Cross.<\/p>\n

From the time of the foundation, Jeanne<\/strong> (Joana) became known as Mother Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Haze<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In establishing the Congregation, Jeanne (Joana) received the support of several people, especially Canon Jean Guillaume Habets<\/strong>, who accompanied her as a spiritual adviser and assisted throughout the process of drafting the Constitutions. Today, he is regarded as the co-founder.<\/p>\n

Throughout its history, the Congregation did not remain only in Belgium<\/strong>, but gradually expanded to countries in Europe<\/strong> and Asia: Germany, India, Pakistan, the Netherlands, Italy, England and Ireland.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Later, the Congregation also reached countries on other continents: the United States, Brazil and Zaire (Africa).<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Origem e Expans\u00e3o Tudo iniciou com a vida de uma jovem chamada Jeanne (Joana) Haze, nascida na B\u00e9lgica, na cidade de Li\u00e8ge.\u00a0 Nasceu numa fam\u00edlia de tradi\u00e7\u00e3o crist\u00e3, cat\u00f3lica, nobre, com posses, mas as circunst\u00e2ncias de guerra tinham levado ao empobrecimento. Inicialmente, o sustento da fam\u00edlia era provido pelos trabalhos manuais das jovens e, posteriormente, pelas escolas que elas abriram.\u00a0 Logo ap\u00f3s a revolu\u00e7\u00e3o francesa, vendo a extrema necessidade e sofrimento\u00a0 do povo, sentiu-se chamada por Deus a dar uma resposta \u00e0quela situa\u00e7\u00e3o.\u00a0 Junto com a sua irm\u00e3 Ferdinande (Fernanda), come\u00e7ou a atendendo os jovens e doentes da redondeza, acolhendo e ensinando tamb\u00e9m as crian\u00e7as pobres na sua pr\u00f3pria casa.\u00a0 Aos poucos foram se juntando a elas outras companheiras que as ajudaram a continuar atendendo os mais necessitados.\u00a0 No in\u00edcio tiveram muitas dificuldades. Ap\u00f3s longa caminhada de luzes e trevas, cruzes e desafios, o grupo foi crescendo, e os trabalhos foram se ampliando e se expandindo.\u00a0 Finalmente, no dia 08 de setembro de 1833 o grupo foi reconhecido oficialmente pelo decreto de Santa S\u00e9 em Roma, como Congrega\u00e7\u00e3o das Irm\u00e3s Filhas da Cruz.\u00a0 Desde o momento da funda\u00e7\u00e3o, Jeanne (Joana) passou a se chamar Madre Maria Teresa Haze.\u00a0 Para chegar \u00e0 funda\u00e7\u00e3o, Jeanne (Joana) contou com o aux\u00edlio de v\u00e1rias pessoas, principalmente do C\u00f4nego Jean Guillaume Habets, que sempre a acompanhou como orientador e ajudou no longo processo da elabora\u00e7\u00e3o das constitui\u00e7\u00f5es, sendo hoje considerado\u00a0 co-fundador.\u00a0 No decorrer da hist\u00f3ria, a Congrega\u00e7\u00e3o n\u00e3o permaneceu s\u00f3 na B\u00e9lgia mas foi se espalhando nos pa\u00edses da Europa e na \u00c1sia: Alemanha, \u00cdndia, Paquist\u00e3o, Holanda, It\u00e1lia, Inglaterra, Irlanda;\u00a0\u00a0 Posteriormente chegaram tamb\u00e9m nos pa\u00edses de outros continentes: Estados Unidos, Brasil e Zaire (\u00c1frica).\u00a0 Como tudo come\u00e7ou A Congrega\u00e7\u00e3o das Irm\u00e3s Filhas da Cruz foi fundada em Li\u00e9ge, B\u00e9lgica.
