Sister Ausilia Biavardi...
entered the institute in 1933.
She dedicates herself in the community to housework, as head of the kitchen service, staff canteens in large hospitals, but also in parish nursery schools where the children were numerous, turbulent and hungry.
It is in this field of work that she highlights her professional skills, but above all her qualities of goodness and wisdom. She always speaks with a calm and respectful voice with everyone, she resolves the difficulties that arise in the complex work with a great mastery of herself, creating fraternal relationships of help and collaboration.

Sister Ausilia takes advantage of her visits to elderly and sick people to say a word of comfort, trust and encouragement to everyone. When she talks to them, her words fall into the hearts of those who listen to her, because they are spoken with simplicity and with a lot of affection.
In the parish she engages in catechism activities, preparing children, young people and young people for the formative meetings and spiritual retreats that she follows with great pleasure.
The sisters who lived with Sister Ausilia found in her a great spirit of prayer, a particular attraction for the silent and personal prayer of adoration, especially in the early hours of the morning usually before dawn, during which she had with Jesus a particular relationship of intimacy.
Supernatural lights invade her intimately and stimulate her to offer herself to Jesus with all of herself for the good of the Church. In these moments Jesus holds her tightly to himself and stimulates her to a spousal intimacy. All this conceals it from the community...
but reveals it to its spiritual director and partly also to the superiors.

She spends the last period of her earthly life next to the remains of the holy foundress, in an atmosphere of great peace and serenity both from the outside and from the inside.
Her words and her companionship invite us to reflect on the profound meaning...
of our life and of our congregation.
