At the age of twenty she became an ecstatic, and ecstasy was her habitual
condition for the remaining thirty-five years of her life. She emerged from
it only at the command, sometimes only mental, of the Franciscan who was her
director, and to attend to the affairs of her house, which sheltered a large
family. Her ordinary attitude was kneeling on her bed with hands crossed on
her breast, and an expression of countenance which deeply impressed
spectators. At twenty-two she received the stigmata. On Thursday evening and
Friday these stigmata shed very clear blood, drop by drop, becoming dry on
the other days. Thousands of persons saw Marie de Moerl, among them Görres (who describes
his visit in his "Mystik", II, xx), Wiseman, and Lord Shrewsbury, who wrote
a defence of the ecstatic in his letters published by "The Morning Herald"
and "The Tablet" |
