Life of Blessed Anna Katharina Emmerick.
Blessed Anna Katharina Emmerick was told by Our Lord that her gift of seeing the past, present, and future in mystic vision was greater than that possessed by anyone else in history. Born at Flamske in Westphalia, Germany, on September 8, 1774, she became a nun of the Augustinian Order at Dülmen. She had the use of reason from her birth and could understand liturgical Latin from her first time at Mass. During the last 12 years of her life, she could eat no food except Holy Communion, nor take any drink except water, subsisting entirely on the Holy Eucharist. From 1802 until her death, she bore the wounds of the Crown of Thorns, and from 1812, the full stigmata of Our Lord, including a cross over her heart and the wound from the lance.
Anne Catherine Emmerich possessed the gift of reading hearts, and she saw, in actual, visual detail, the facts of Catholic belief, which most of us simply have to accept on faith. The basic truths of the Catechism-Angels, devils, Purgatory, the lives of Our Lord and the Blessed Mother, the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, the grace of the Sacraments-all these truths were as real to her as the material world. Thus, her revelations make the hidden, supernatural world come alive. They lift the veil on the world of grace and enable the reader to seethrough Anne Catherine's eyes-the manifold doctrines of our Faith in all their wondrous beauty. This book will thus marvelously confirm and strengthen the faith of Catholics, showing that the truths of our Faith are rock-solid realities, as real as anything in the material world.
Among the enthralling revelations in this book ...
•
She saw that each parish and diocese, each city and country has its own particular and powerful Guardian Angel.
•
She saw that the Church never has allowed the children of Catholics to be raised outside her fold, and that as soon as solidly established, she has banned mixed marriages.
•
She saw how the various indulgences we gain actually remit specific punishments, which otherwise would await us in Purgatory.
•
She shows us that, to gain an indulgence, we must approach the Sacraments with true repentance and a firm purpose of amendment--or we do not gain it.
•
She often visited Purgatory and revealed that "Protestants" there suffer much more than Catholics because no one prays for them or offers Masses for them.
•
She deposes that it is more holy to pray for the Poor Souls in Purgatory than for sinners who are still alive, and she explains why.
•
She describes the nature, extent and power of victim souls, and their role in the life of the Church.
•
She describes the condition of St. Lydwine of Schiedam. a victim soul during a time when there were ""three popes:' and how her body came apart into three pieces. joined only by the slenderest of sinews.
•
She saw only 6 victim souls in her own time who were working like herself on behalf of the Universal Church. and only about 100 thousand Catholic people worldwide who were great in their faith.
•
She revealed that the Saints are particularly powerful on their feast days and should be especially invoked then.
•
She saw that many Saints come from the saintly families. the antiquity of which families often extends far back into the Old Testament.
•
She saw the strong link-even long after their deaths-between holy souls in Heaven and their descendants here on earth, lasting even centuries.
•
She saw that the Garden of Eden. with all it contained. was a perfect picture of the Kingdom of God.
•
She revealed that Enoch and Elias are in Paradise. where they await their return to the world to preach at the End of Time.
•
She revealed that Our Lord suffered from the wound in His shoulder lmore than from any other.
•
She continually saw a false church and wicked nen scheming against the Catholic Church and doing much harm-both in her own time and in the future.
•
She saw in vision the enemies of the Church tearing it down and trying to build a new one-on strictly human plans-but none of the Saints would lend a hand.
•
Later. this church of men is destroyed. and the Saints of God join together to rebuild the true Church of God. which becomes more glorious than ever before.
•
She saw the revival of the priesthood and the religious orders after a period of great decadence.
•
She describes in detail her visions of Heaven
•
This book conveys a holy and profound appreciation for every aspect of our Faith, and the reader derives a holy feeling just from reading it!
