About This Book

This devotional biography traces a saint's life from humble origins through a difficult marriage and steadfast charity, describing intense prayer, austerities, and patient endurance that lead to widowhood and entrance into an Augustinian convent. It outlines conventual observance, penitential practices, and a miraculous thorn-like wound received in mystical union with Christ, alongside ongoing acts of mercy and devotion. The narrative closes with reports of healings and marvels attributed to her relics, the formal processes of beatification and canonization, and the persistence of popular veneration after her death.
