For anyone who is interested:

Teresa Neuman was born on Good Friday 1898. She decided to enter a missionary order of Sister for Central Africa after WWI. She prepared herself for religious life by following the life based on St. Teresa of Lisieux for whose beatification she prayed. However, following a spinal injury and several subsequent falls she became blind, paralyzed, bed-ridden, covered with sores and contracted bronchitis and pneumonia. Her blindness was cured on the day of the Beatification of St. Teresa. A leg that was to be amputated was healed by the application of leaves from the grave of St. Teresa. Her paralysis and sores were healed on the day of St. Teresa’s canonization. Her appendicitis was cured by the application of a relic of St. Teresa. And her pneumonia was cured on the anniversary of the death of the saint. Upon the curing of her paralysis she heard the voice of what she believed to be St. Teresa who told her she would still have to endure great suffering.
In 1926, she received the stigmata in the form of 5 wounds and later she received the marks of the Crown of Thorns, the wound on the shoulder, the marks of the scourging and wound on her knees corresponding to Christ’s falling under the weight of the cross.
Once a week beginning at 11:00 P.M. on Thursday and lasting until 1:00PM on Friday she had a vision of the Passion of Our Lord in about forty scenes with short intervals, and experienced the suffering corresponding to the various scenes--The Agony, the dungeon of Ciphers, the Scourging, Crowning with Thorns, Carrying of the Cross and Crucifixion. During Lent, all the stigmata bleed profusely; outside Lent only the stigmata of the crown of thorns, of the the wound in the side, and the eyes bleed.
During this time Teresa Neuman, for around 20 years, received the Holy Eucharist as her only daily nourishment. This was confirmed by medical doctors during her very lengthy stays in hospitals and by fellow nuns in the convent.

Wow!

That is very interesting information about Teresa Neuman. Thank you for posting it.

Did you read that on the day of Terri's surgery to remove her feeding tube, that afterwards her parents and Msgr. Malinowski were permitted to visit Terri. He apparently blessed her on her body with a relic from some garment that Mother Teresa wore. She is to be beatified on Saturday. She needs another miracle to be canonized. Wouldn't it be lovely if Terri were to be healed in the same sort of way that Teresa Neuman was?(Sorry, I don't remember which thread or post to direct you to, but it was recent).
