Therese Neumann: A Stigmatist of Our Day

Therese Neumann was a simple girl born to good Catholic parents in an obscure village of Catholic Bavaria. Yet God would call her to make known the sacred passion of Christ in her person. After an accident that should have killed her, she was miraculously healed, and received cures for her blindness and atrophied limb. But more than all of these, she shed tears of blood and bore the wounds of Christ visibly in her body.

Therese Neumann, a Stigmatist of Our Day is a contemporary account of her life, sufferings and miracles. Friedrich von Lama faithfully records her cures, and visions, and defends the miraculous occurrences from the skeptics with logic and reason, without falling into an overly pietistic hagiography. He addresses the claims of “the science” of his day, which was bent on discrediting her, and provides facts verified by thousands of witnesses, to present her life story in a way that will move the reader to the very depths of his soul. Just the same, the author is careful not to anticipate a judgement of the Church in her regard.

In this book you will learn:

• The teaching of the Church on mystical phenomena;
• Her devotion to St. Thérèse of Lisieux;
• The Miracles of God provided the young sitmatist;
• The nature of her stigmata and devotion to the passion of Christ;
• Her miraculous visions, and living on the Eucharist.
