Delfina naci\u00f3 en Provenza, Francia, en 1284. Hu\u00e9rfana en su infancia, qued\u00f3 bajo la tutela de sus t\u00edos y bajo la direcci\u00f3n de su t\u00eda, la abadesa de Santa Catalina de Sorbo. Creci\u00f3 en la pr\u00e1ctica de todas las virtudes e hizo voto de virginidad, que mantuvo fielmente hasta el final de su vida.<\/p>\n
A los veinte a\u00f1os se cas\u00f3 con Elz\u00e9ar, conde de Sarban, y la pareja, tras recibir el h\u00e1bito de la Tercera Orden de San Francisco, vivi\u00f3 junta en la edificante pr\u00e1ctica de la oraci\u00f3n, la penitencia y la caridad hacia los pobres hasta la muerte de San Elz\u00e9ar en 1323. Delfina acompa\u00f1\u00f3 a Elz\u00e9ar a N\u00e1poles en 1317 y se convirti\u00f3 en compa\u00f1era de la reina Sanchia, cargo que mantuvo tras la muerte de su esposo en misi\u00f3n diplom\u00e1tica a Par\u00eds en 1323. Al fallecer el esposo de la reina Sanchia, el rey Roberto, la reina se hizo monja en un monasterio de clarisas en N\u00e1poles y Delfina permaneci\u00f3 con ella hasta su muerte. Despu\u00e9s de la muerte de la reina regres\u00f3 a Provenza. Don\u00f3 la mayor parte de su riqueza a los pobres y vivi\u00f3 como reclusa, primero en Carbri\u00e8res y luego en Apt.<\/p>\n
Durante los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os de su vida soport\u00f3 los mayores sufrimientos sin la menor queja ni signo de impaciencia. El culto que se le hab\u00eda rendido durante tanto tiempo a la beata Delfina fue confirmado por el papa Urbano V, ahijado de San Elz\u00e9ar. Delfina falleci\u00f3 en 1360 y fue enterrada con su esposo en Apt.<\/p>\n
En el suplemento del Martirologio, se nombra a la beata Delfina el 9 de diciembre, aunque parece que falleci\u00f3 el 26 de noviembre.<\/p>\n
