Wife Mother and Mystic
She was just a housewife—a mother of seven. But when she walked down the streets of Rome, people would say, "There goes the saint." She was renowned for her heroic charity, mystical experiences and healing powers. (Her body remains incorrupt to this day.)
She was Blessed Anna Maria Taigi, one of the few married people that the Church has elevated to the honors of the altar. Louis Veuillot, editor of the French Catholic newspaper Univeres, had this to say about her in 1860" Anna Maria was chosen by God to bring souls to Him, to be a victim of expiation, to avert great catastrophes, all by the power of her prayers... To the opened floodgates of iniquity God opposed a simple woman. This book is more than just a biography: it's a challenge and an inspiration to all married people, showing how wrong it is to assume that only unmarried people can give themselves wholly to God and love Him with all their heart.
"An excellent model for contemporary wives and mothers who must similarly deal with the problems of each day and struggle to make ends meet. Scarcely any will become mystics like Blessed Anna-Maria, but all can ask her intercession....A well written biography."
