In AC Delegate darling, her religious vocation matured within Catholic Action.
From the homily of Cardinal José Saraiva Martins for the beatification

"If there is an immediate sign of recognition of Sister Maria Rosa this is surely the smile that became the first charity towards those who lived with her, but which also translated into very humble and strong human gestures of listening, patience, service that they asked her for a very high price of self-denial and self-giving: "My heart is under the press even if I am happy, very, very, very happy; I began my healing life crying but I asked the Good Lord to end it singing his mercies". (...) Blessed Maria Rosa, placed by the Church on the candlestick, invites us to hope and not to let ourselves be nailed down by our limitations and faults , because God leaves nothing unfinished. Let us also pray, as she prayed for herself: "May Jesus the Lord act in me to build on the rubble of my misery, that masterpiece that He has set for himself from Eternity". of evangelical perfection, the masterpiece of one's own sanctification."
