Blessed Bruna Pellesi (11 November 1917 – 1 December 1972), known as Maria Rosa of Jesus, was an Italian nun who was a member of the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Christ.[1] Pellesi served as an educator in places such as Sassuolo until she contracted tuberculosis and was moved to various sanatoriums for recuperation until the end of her life when she died in her convent.[2][3]

Pellesi was beatified under Pope Benedict XVI on 29 April 2007 but it was Cardinal José Saraiva Martins who presided over the celebration in Rimini on the behalf of the pope.
