Therese Neumann CHAPTER LVIII: TWO HEARTS OF WIT & WISDOM
St. Therese of the Child Jesus "The Little Flower" died in 1898. The same year Therese Neumann, the Stigmatist, was born.
Exactly 27 years later already in 1925 "The Little Flower" was canonized. On the same day, as the canonization process took place in Rome, St. Therese appeared to Therese Neumann in Konnersreuth, Germany, informing her that she will be cured of all her many ailments, blindness, internal sickness, bedsores, etc. However, Almighty God will send her in the future new sufferings (the Stigmata) and through these new sufferings countless souls will be saved!--Providing Therese Neumann will CONSENT to accept these sufferings--the Stigmata--.
Yes, Therese was cured immediately and two years later during Lent of 1927 she received the holy Stigmata. From Christmas of 1927 until she died September 18, 1962 she was unable to eat except receiving Holy Communion every day--living for 35 years, no food no drink, she could not even partake of water, except the Sacred Host daily. Believe it or not! 'Ripley's Believe it or not' carried this phenomenon in its pages; and they are willing to give you $5000.--, if you can disprove it . . .
Therese Neumann is up for canonization in Rome, miracles happened since her death, she being the intercessor in these wonderful cases. It is also reported that her body is incorrupt . . .
