Pietas Theresiana

View through CrossRef
This chapter focuses on Maria Theresa's Pietas Theresiana, showing how her personal piety, shaped by Jesuit influence and deepened by personal loss marked a new era in Habsburg spiritual life. It contrasts her devotion with that of her forefathers, particularly the dynasty's long-standing relationship with the Catholic faith and the Eucharist. Maria Theresea continued the veneration of Corpus Christi and promoted daily sacramental life for her children, preserving contemplative orders tied to the feast even as later reforms by Joseph suppressed some of its associated brotherhoods. The chapter discusses Marian devotion, another core of Pietas Austriaca, and how she remained firmly committed to Marian theology as instilled by her Jesuit education. It mentions Charles VI's reverence for the shrine of Mariazell, the Magna Mater Austriae, and the well-documented origins of the shrine, tying her piety to both family tradition and dynastic identity.
