Has Anyone Heard of Rhoda Wise?

[AnimalLover]

While saying my daily prayers today, the name Rhoda Wise popped into my head.

I remembered that back in the '40s when I was a small child, my folks took my brother and I to Canton, Ohio. It's a long time ago but if I recall, there was to be "something" special happening and many, many people made the pilgrimage.

Checked out the name on the search engine and came up with a lot of links. Following are a few:

Would be interested in hearing from anyone who remembers anything about this lady and what occurred at her home.

Also, I can tell you all that I can remember of that visit.

Interestingly I just finished Mother Angelica, the Remarkable Story of a Nun, Her Nerve, and a Network of Miracles by Raymond Arroyo. Ms. Wise was very influential in the life of a young Rita Rizzo, who became Mother Angelica.

Rhoda Wise was the mystic who cured Rita Rizzo (Mother Angelica), and inspired young Rita to enter the monastery.

Jesus cured Rita through Rhoda Wise and/or St. Therese of the Child Jesus.
