Juliana Falconieri was born into a noble Florentine family in 1270. Her uncle, Alessio Falconieri, one of the founders of the Servants of Mary (the Servites), was a great influence on her vocation. At an early age, she
decided to follow the consecrated life in service of the poor. Her example would lead other young women to
follow. They would eventually establish the female branch of the Servants of Mary, the Sisters of the Third Order of Servites, dedicated to a life of contemplation and prayer, charitable good works, and promoting peace in the
city.
Towards the end of her life, Juliana suffered a stomach illness that made it difficult to eat. She died in 1341, and was canonized by Pope Clement XII in 1737.
