Alexandrina of Balazar
Alexandrina Maria da Costa was a Portuguese mystic, born in Balasar, on 30/3/1904, and dead in the same town on 13/10/1955. In the sequence of a jump from a window when she was 14 years old to run away from men who pursued her, suffered a gradual paralysis that placed her in the bed since 1925. On 1935, she asked the Pope for the consecration of the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, what happened on 30/10/19042. Since 1943 until death, her sole food was the daily Communion, as it was medically evidenced.
Alexandrina Maria da Costa left wide written work, studied mainly in Italy by Fr Umberto Pasquale, and Chiaffredo and Eugenia Signorile. On 25/4/2005, she was declared blessed by John Paul II.
In Ireland there is an Alexandrina Society that spreads Alexandrina’s life and teachings.
