Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (1782\u20131876)<\/strong><\/p>

With profound faith, courage, and compassion, Maria Teresa Haze \u2014 known in religious life as Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se of the Sacred Heart of Jesus \u2014 founded the Congregation of the Daughters of the Cross of Li\u00e8ge in 1833, guided by the ideal of serving God through others, especially the most vulnerable.<\/p>

Inspired by the mystery of the Cross, a symbol of Christ\u2019s redeeming love, she found in human suffering a place of mission and self-giving. Together with other young women who shared the same ideal, she began a work that, through simplicity and dedication, would spread to many countries, bringing comfort, education, and hope.<\/p>

Animada pelo mist\u00e9rio da Cruz<\/strong>, s\u00edmbolo do amor redentor de Cristo, ela encontrou na dor humana um espa\u00e7o de miss\u00e3o e entrega. Ao lado de outras jovens com o mesmo ideal, deu in\u00edcio a uma obra que, com simplicidade e dedica\u00e7\u00e3o, se espalharia por diversos pa\u00edses, levando consolo, forma\u00e7\u00e3o e esperan\u00e7a.<\/p>

Her spirituality, centered on the Sacred Heart of Jesus, was reflected in her attention to small gestures, her trust in Divine Providence, and her deep desire to live according to the Gospel.<\/p>

Maria Teresa Haze died in 1876, but her legacy lives on in the mission of the Daughters of the Cross, who continue to follow in their foundress\u2019s footsteps with love, humility, and faithfulness to God\u2019s call.<\/p>

\u201cThe Cross is the way of life; whoever trusts in it walks with Christ.\u201d\n\u2014 Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se of the Sacred Heart<\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Nossa Fundadora Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se do Sagrado Cora\u00e7\u00e3o de Jesus (1782\u20131876) Com profunda f\u00e9, coragem e compaix\u00e3o, Maria Teresa Haze \u2014 conhecida na vida religiosa como Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se do Sagrado Cora\u00e7\u00e3o de Jesus \u2014 fundou, em 1833, a Congrega\u00e7\u00e3o das Filhas da Cruz de Li\u00e8ge, guiada pelo ideal de servir a Deus no pr\u00f3ximo, especialmente nos mais vulner\u00e1veis. Nascida em Li\u00e8ge, B\u00e9lgica, em um per\u00edodo de grande instabilidade social e pol\u00edtica, Maria Teresa enfrentou os desafios da \u00e9poca com uma f\u00e9 inabal\u00e1vel e uma vis\u00e3o clara: unir a vida consagrada \u00e0 a\u00e7\u00e3o concreta, marcada pela educa\u00e7\u00e3o, pelo cuidado aos doentes e pelo servi\u00e7o pastoral nas comunidades. Animada pelo mist\u00e9rio da Cruz, s\u00edmbolo do amor redentor de Cristo, ela encontrou na dor humana um espa\u00e7o de miss\u00e3o e entrega. Ao lado de outras jovens com o mesmo ideal, deu in\u00edcio a uma obra que, com simplicidade e dedica\u00e7\u00e3o, se espalharia por diversos pa\u00edses, levando consolo, forma\u00e7\u00e3o e esperan\u00e7a. Sua espiritualidade, centrada no Sagrado Cora\u00e7\u00e3o de Jesus, transparecia na aten\u00e7\u00e3o aos pequenos gestos, na confian\u00e7a na Provid\u00eancia Divina e no desejo profundo de viver segundo o Evangelho. Maria Teresa Haze faleceu em 1876, mas seu legado permanece vivo na miss\u00e3o das Filhas da Cruz, que seguem os passos da fundadora com amor, humildade e fidelidade ao chamado de Deus. “A cruz \u00e9 o caminho da vida; quem nela confia, caminha com Cristo.”\u2014 Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se do Sagrado Cora\u00e7\u00e3o<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1246","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/irfilhasdacruz.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/irfilhasdacruz.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/irfilhasdacruz.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/irfilhasdacruz.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/irfilhasdacruz.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1246"}],"version-history":[{"count":24,"href":"https:\/\/irfilhasdacruz.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1246\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2305,"href":"https:\/\/irfilhasdacruz.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1246\/revisions\/2305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/irfilhasdacruz.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
