It's Me It's Me, A Blogwright

Apparently she bilocated to Texas and New Mexico to convert the Native Americans there to Christianity. The friars from Spain were so surprised to find the Indians so easily wanting to convert and the reason why.

She isn't a saint yet, but her body lies uncorrupted in the Church of Agreda. Being "uncorrupted" is usually a sign of sainthood.

This woman, during the Baroque period in Europe was a confident of the King of Spain and other men. She wrote books. She was regarded as a mystic and holy person by her contemporaries. The Inquisition interviewed her twice and she wasn't tortured or anything. She wrote books, treatises, and burned a lot of them because "a woman wasn't supposed to write" according to one of her confessors. Then another confessor replaced that one and told her to write. She was knowledgeable without being taught, she was wise and bilocation is considered a miracle; she was a devout follower of the Holy Mother and God, believing that all people should be Christians. She described seeing the Earth from space accurately!!!!!!

Her book that she says is the story of the life of Mary, Mother of Jesus, was written by her twice. The first time, she finished it and burned it. Then she wrote it over again and it was published in many languages. It is still around and called, The Mystical City of God. It is considered a masterful book in Marion history, and the definitive one by most people. Of course, she affirmed that it was told to her by the MARY!!!

Mel Gibson used this book as a reference for his movie about the Passion of Christ, for the book told how the Virgin Mary experienced the events of her son's life.

The States of Texas and New Mexico have students in their universities study about "The Lady in Blue".

A book was written about her called "The Lady in Blue", by Javier Sierra. I just read it and enjoyed it very much. This best-seller is a "novel of intrigue about a most curious and enduring legend."

I found it on sale for a buck -- what a steal! Great story, or, as the book proposes, is it true??? What curious set of circumstances led me to find this book and read it? Is chance just, as someone put it, "God not looking or wanting to know"? Is the world actually run by "an unseen Programmer", giving us hints and leading us in directions by his or her toss of coin?

Sister Maria Jesus de Agreda is someone who should be known more. She is in the same category as Saint Teresa of Avila and had much the same "ectasies" and mystical experiences. Maria de Jesus was even seen floating in the air during praying!

Bilocation is the ability to be in two places at once and that is how she ended up with the Indians while she was still in Spain; she also gave them physical items, like crucifixes and rosaries; she taught them to pray in Latin and make the Sign of the Cross. Another legend concerning her is that where her light faded upon the land in Texas and New Mexico, blue flowers suddenly were there growing the next day. In Spain, she originated a recipe for chili that she said the Indians gave her! You can find this recipe on the web still!

Outside of her Spanish Village and some areas of Texas and New Mexico, she is still relatively unknown; but now you know!
