Blessed Cecilia Eusepi was an Italian Roman Catholic and a professed member from the Secular Servites. Eusepi died of tuberculosis at 18 years of age, but only after her confessor advised her to keep a journal of her own life, which she titled "Storia di un Pagliaccio" ("Story of a Clown"), for she considered herself to be a "little clown" and "a half-stupid clown good for nothing"; she wrote that it must be her extreme weakness that appealed to God. She kept a diary of her life and relationship with Jesus.
She has been compared to Thérèse of Lisieux, whose book The Story of a Soul she read as a young girl, and strove to follow the Little Flower's "little way."
Beatified 17 June 2012, Piazza della Bottata, Nepi, Italy by Cardinal Angelo Amato
