Venerable Mary of Agreda

1602-1665

Venerable Mary of Jesus of Agreda was born to a noble Spanish family, all of whom eventually became religious. Chosen abbess of the convent of Agreda in 1627, she held the position until her death. She is best known for writing the Mystical City of God, 6 volumes of revelations received directly from the Blessed Virgin Mary about her life. A mystic and visionary, she had the gift to bilocate as many as 500 times from her cell to the American Indians in what is now known as Texas and New Mexico, encouraging them to conversion. Her body is incorrupt to this day.
