Every saint’s and saint-in-the-making’s story has something to teach us. This month, I’m going to be delving into the life of Blessed Anna Maria. She was born in Siena, Italy, in 1769, and married shortly before she was twenty. It was not long after her marriage that she had her first encounter with Jesus. Many visions of the future followed, including prophecies of future events. She continued to live in the world, with her husband raising four children to adulthood. She died in 1837.
