Servite St. Juliana Falconieri (1270-1341) St. Juliana Falconieri was the niece of  St. Alexis Falconieri , one of the Seven Holy Founders of the Servite Order. At the age of 15 she received a habit of the Third Order of Servites. She remained in her parent’s home. After her mother's death, she and several companions moved into a house of their own, which became the first convent  of the Sisters of the Third Order of Servites. Juliana remaining the superior until the end of her life. She is a patron saint of the sick, and those who suffer bodily infirmities.

Triduum in Honor of St. Juliana Falconieri Day 1 God, our Father, You called Juliana, who was a model of penance and chaste love, to form a new community of sisters, Servants of Mary. Grant that your Church, as the loving bride of Jesus, may always witness this gift of total love in the lives of consecrated women. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen. Liturgy of the Hours - OSM
