Feastday: September 1
Died: 1490

St. Beatrice da Silva Meneses, Religious (Feast - September 1) Beatrice was born in Ceuta, Portugal, in 1424. She was the daughter of the Count of Viana, and the sister of St. Amedeus of Portugal. In Portugal, Beatrice is known as Brites.

Raised in the household of Princess Isabel, Beatrice went to Spain with her when Isable married John II of Castile. Evenually, she tired of court life and entered the Cistercian convent at Toledo.

In 1484, Beatrice founded the Congregation of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The groups first house was the castle of Galliana, a gift from Queen Isabel. Beatrice died at Toledo on September 1, 1490 and was canonized by Pope Paul VI in 1976.

In his own wisdom, God calls each individual to a particular vocation. The life of St. Beatrice reminds us of how important it is for us to be always open to God's designs in our regard, and to pray that his will be done.

My interest is due to the writings of Ven. Maria de Agreda, a member of St. Beatrice's order and, as a result, I joined the Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception.
The article was very clear and traced the evolution of the order's rule from Cistercian to Franciscan to it's own constitutions. This complexity is not usually cleared up in other articles on St. Beatrice.
woman and aroused the envy of Queen Isabel, her friend. It would seem that is was

The immaculate conception is such a powerful mystery. It inspired St. Beatrice. I am amazed how it inspires so many Saints as well as people I know through faith, since the human mind cannot comprehend it.
