== Life ==
Line 44:
Iacobellis was a normal girl with her family, friends, and at school. However, according to Iacobellis's parents and those who knew her, her affinity for the Christian religion grew with age. She had a particular devotion to [[Saint Michael in the Catholic Church|Saint Michael the Archangel]].<ref name=volo/>
She spent her summer holidays in the basilicas of [[Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi|Saint Francis]] and [[
At the age of 11, Iacobellis developed [[leukemia]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2016-04-08|title=Storia della serva di Dio, Angela Iacobellis: l'angelo del Vomero|url=https://www.vocedinapoli.it/2016/04/08/storia-angela-iacobellis-miracoli/|access-date=2020-11-06|website=Voce di Napoli|language=it-IT}}</ref> For a long time, she was not informed about the severity of the disease, but she calmly and optimistically accepted the treatment when she was told that her illness, although treatable, was not curable. She consciously accepted God's will, expressing all herself in prayer and in conversation with the Lord.
Line 55:
Following numerous reports of people, who through her [[intercession]], claimed to have received [[Grace in Christianity|graces]] and favors, the fame of Angela Iacobellis has spread throughout [[Italy]]. On 11 June 1991, The [[Holy See]] granted the [[nihil obstat]] for the opening of the diocesan process for her [[beatification]] and [[Pope John Paul II]] declared her a [[Servant of God]].
On 21 November 1997 Iacobellis' body was moved from the family [[chapel]] in the cemetery of [[Naples]] to the Church of [[San Giovanni dei Fiorentini (Naples)|San Giovanni Battista dei Fiorentini]].<ref>
