Saint of the Day: Blessed Anna Maria Taigi

Winchester, VA – Wife, mystic, and mother of seven, Blessed Anna Maria Taigi was gifted with many supernatural experiences, but understood that her sanctity would be achieved by the acceptance of the duties and sufferings of her state in life. Born in Siena, Italy, in 1769, she married the pious but hot tempered Dominic Taigi, and soon thereafter, abandoning all worldliness, embraced a life of penance, humility, service, and submission to those around her. A daily Mass attendee, she conversed with Our Lord and Blessed Mother, and was gifted with a mysterious orb, visible only to her, in which she could see past, present and future. She is patron of housewives, mothers, and victims of verbal and spousal abuse. Blessed Anna Maria Taigi, pray for us!
