Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Paperback) by Anne Catherine Emmerich
The private revelations mystically granted to and chronicled by Blessed Ann Catherine Emmerich provide an intimate glimpse into the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and, by extension, into the lives of her beloved family members, including, of course, those of her Son and our Lord, Jesus Christ; her earthly spouse, St. Joseph; her parents, Sts. Anne and Joachim; other relatives and ancestors. Myriad fascinating details regarding the Nativity and the early life of Our Lord, and the Blessed Mother's final days on earth, prior to her death and glorious Assumption, are provided in this fleshed-out compilation of the four Gospel narratives. Original illustrations of the life of Mary, footnotes and an Index of Scripture References are all included.
Anne Catherine Emmerich was born to poor parents at Westphalia, Germany in 1774. When she was twenty-eight years old she became an Augustinian nun at Dulmen, and apparently began to experience ecstasies as a result of spiritual favors. She received the Stigmata in 1813, confined to her bed, and reportedly convinced a vicar-general, Overberg, and three physicians of her sanctity. She later reported that she had seen visions of Christ and the souls in purgatory as a child, as well as a circular core with three sections representing the Trinity. She is the author of The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Life of Jesus Christ and Biblical Revelations, and The Bitter Passion and the Life of Mary.
Anne Emmerich died on February 9, 1824 and was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2004.
