(sor marie de jesus of agreda - la dama azul - who was she?) Who was Sor Maria de Agreda? She was a 17th century Spanish mystic who became a cloistered Franciscan Conceptionist nun. As cloistered, she did not leave her convent, yet spoke of teaching 'natives and savages' about Jesus in a far distant country, not just once but over 500 times. This began when she was only 18 years old. In 1627 she became abbess of the Convent of the Immaculate Conception in Agreda where she spent the rest of her life. So how could this be possible? + "THE LADY IN BLUE"

INCORRUPT "Sor Maria's incorrupt body lies in state within a glass enclosed coffin in her convent's church in Agreda, Spain. Since her death in 1665, her casket has been opened to medical and ecclesiastical examination 14 times, and each time (most recently in 1989) certified as in tact and sweet smelling. "As the viewer can see in the photograph, her face is protected with a mask, but her hands are in view for all to see, and appeared to me perfectly in tact. Unfortunately, for all my photographic contortions, I was not able to capture an image of her hands on film. Maybe during my next visit!" Marilyn H. Fedewa Author and Photographer |

INSPIRED BY "THE LADY IN BLUE" With grateful thanks to the encouragement of Brian Cadman (UK) and to Marilyn Fedewa (MI), the American Correspondent liaison with the vice postulator of Sor Maria's cause for sainthood. Please read the beautiful sharings in 'How the Rosary Came to Be' If this little dedication in any way helps Sor Maria to become Saint Maria we will be most grateful. + RW |
