Wife, Mother & Mystic

Blessed Anna-Maria Taigi.

Reading about saints establishes supernatural friendships. We are brought closer to heaven as they are studied and incorporated into our daily lives.

…There remains the witness of the saints. They are good for people and good for thinkers: for the people that have eyes to see, and for the thinkers who can assert with btter reason than others that “the mystics have gone much deeper down into things than our clerest dramatists and novelists.” p. 216 Blessed Anna-Maria Taigi.

This book is translated from French, therefore in reading the text one must be a bit forgiving. At times the author loses the reader because ample background is not provided; no doubt the translator struggled to find words and correct syntax.

Once I got over my initial shock of the jarring writing style, I began to enjoy this book. I learned that Anna-Maria Taigi, married with children, was called upon to be one of those rare victim souls who changed the world with her sufferings.
Her diligence instructing the children in religion and keeping them from sin was courageous and admirable. Her love for her husband is a model for all married women.

History was changed because of this one soul who dared to suffer and believe and practice the Catholic Faith in all things. How was it changed? By her prayers, her intercession, healings, visions and counsel.

Heavenly friendships are a wonderful consolation for the Church Militant. This book helps do that by learning about an undiscovered mystic.After reading this book, I’m sure you will feel comfortable including her in your petitions.

Blessed Anna-Maria Taigi, ora pro nobis.
