Usapan:Alexandrina Maria da Costa

I don’t know any word in your langage. But I study Alexandrina Maria da Costa and about her I know many things; e.g., that in Thailand was edited by Salesians, some decades ago, the translation from intalian of an work on Alexandrina Maria da Costa. Its Italian title was L’Estatica. This book has also translation into Chinese. There is a book made with quotations of Alexandrina's works translated into Japanese. Its subject is Jesus's Passion.

The text that follows can be found in En.Wikipedia, but I am his main author. I think that there is no problem if you translate it.


Alexandrina Maria da Costa (30 March, 1904–13 October, 1955) was a Portuguese mystic, born and died in Balasar. 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 from 1925 onwards. In 1935, she asked the Pope for the consecration of the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, which happened on 30 October, 1942. 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 April, 2004 she was declared blessed by John Paul II.

In Ireland, where Fr. Francis Johnston wrote his Alexandrina, the Agony and the Glory (see below), there is an Alexandrina Society that spreads Alexandrina’s life and teachings. Its Bulletin is sent, for example, to Singapore.
