The Imelda Lambertini Story With Dr. Gregory Thompson 

Imelda Lambertini (1322 – May 12, 1333) is the patroness of First Communicants. Wearing first communion dress, chapel veil with attached to a chaplet of flowers on her head and rosary.

She fully immersed herself in a life of devotion, exceptional in a child of her age. From her youngest days, Blessed Imelda had an all consuming desire for unity with Jesus in Holy Communion. As young as 5 years of age she expressed a deep desire to receive Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament by making her First Communion.

Nobody was at all surprised when one day at the age of nine she sought her parent's permission to enter the local Dominican Convent. Imelda had a very strong desire to become a religious sister.

This Girl Wanted the Eucharist So Badly That Jesus Directly Intervened.

Imelda Lambertini began doing God’s work at the young age of five.

She was born in Bologna in the year 1322 and was an only child.

Her parents were devout Catholics and were actively involved in charity works; supporting the poor and the downtrodden in the city. When Imelda was baptized, she was given the name Magdalen.

Growing up, she was inspired by many stories about Jesus and Mary that her parents told her. They instructed her in the Faith of the Church, her mother herself was particularly devoted to the souls in Purgatory.

The little girl was so devoted that she prepared a special corner in her room where she could spend a long time thinking about the Child Jesus.

At age five, she had already started requesting to receive Holy Communion. Always nursing the emptiness she felt upon rejection since, at the time, the minimum age was around 14.
