Bl. Elisabetta Canori Mora (1774-1825)
Taken from here.

BL. ELISABETTA CANORI MORA (1774-1825) was born in Rome on 21 November 1774 to the aristocrats Tommaso Canori and Teresa Primoli as one of twelve children; six of these children died as infants. One sister was Benedetta. She was baptized on 22 November in the names of Maria Elisabetta Cecilia Gertrude.

Her parents first entrusted her to the religious at the convent of Santa Euphemia for her initial studies and the Superioress Gertrude Riggoli discovered her keen gifts and wanted her there as a full-time student. Bl. Elisabetta Mora received her Confirmation in Saint Peter's Basilica on 5 July 1782 and Sister Riggoli was her godmother. Her father withdrew her from the Santa Euphemia convent due to their poverty and soon after sought help from his brother in Spoleto when their fortunes began to dwindle. Her uncle helped and assumed the care of her and her sister Benedetta and entrusted them to a convent for education. The Augustinian Sisters from Casica oversaw her education from 1785 until 1788. During her education she became noted for her intelligence and her interior spirit of penance.

Bl. Elisabetta married the solicitor Cristoforo Mora on 10 January 1796 in the church of Santa Maria in Campo Corleo and the couple went on to have a total of four children. The first two children died within the week of their births with two surviving daughters Marianne (b. 1799) and Luciana (b. 5 July 1801) left; Marianna later married and had a single child while Lucina became a nun in 1795. Her father-in-law was the doctor Francesco Mora. Her husband proved unfaithful and sometimes violent and reduced the Mora's to a state of want to his abrasive nature. Her husband was also jealous and controlling and he became suspicious of his wife's ties to her parents - this led to him becoming cold and indifferent to her. Cristoforo in the beginning liked to parade her around and guard her like a treasure and called her his "pearl of great price" though as the marriage deteriorated took up a mistress. Her confessor and spiritual director before 1807 was the Jesuit priest Giovanni Giacomo Pegna.

On 15 August 1801 she fell ill with severe colic despite the attempts of her father-in-law to treat her and she almost died from this but was cured; there was no medical explanation for her cure and she deemed it to be a miracle. Her illness caused her to sell her jewels and her wedding dress to make up for the medical bills. Bl. Elisabetta Mora became a member of the Secular Trinitarians in 1807 and her fame spread throughout Rome at a rapid pace. The Trinitarian priest Fernando de San Luis became her spiritual director in 1807 had introduced her to the order before she joined it. Bl. Elisabetta Mora predicted that her husband would soon repent to the faith and become devout.

Her husband had reduced them to poverty to the point that he had stolen a considerable sum from his father who found out and suffered an apoplectic stroke - he was cured due to Bl. Elisabetta Mora turning to God for His divine intercession. Her sisters-in-law grew concerned for her as did her mother-in-law, and Cristoforo's sisters went to the Roman authorities for the Papal States to have them reprimand him for his vile mannerisms. The Cardinal Vicar of Rome received him at the convent of Santi Giovanni e Paolo and this enraged Cristoforo when he learnt his sisters were behind it and his wife knew of it. Cristoforo became so enraged with his wife that he pulled out a knife and lunged at her but did not strike her so instead fell to his knees and begged for her pardon in a sudden and unexpected moment of fear.


Her Mystical Experiences

Mora recorded all her spiritual experiences at her confessor's request and this ended up spanning countless notebooks. She saw the Our Lady on 7 September 1803 with a dove and this caused her to faint though she later awoke and saw a flame where her heart was. On March 22, 1814 she turned her mind in reflection to Pope Pius VII and had a sudden vision in which she saw the pontiff in the midst of a pack of "wolves". On 16 January 1815 she had a vision in which she saw angels and on 29 June 1820 saw Saint Peter descend from heaven in papal vestments with a legion of angels behind him. On October 19, 1816 she went to receive Communion and a voice said that God would speak with her on October 23, at midnight - on that date the Madonna appeared with the Infant Jesus and beckoned her to come to them. Bl. Elisabetta Mora approached them and the Infant Jesus placed a ring on her finger. She had an intense devotion to the Eucharist and once saw Saint Felix of Valois and Saint John of Matha appear to her with the Host. It was also said that Bl. Elisabetta Mora cured the epileptic Giovanni Maria Mastai-Ferretti - the future Pope Pius IX - before the latter became a priest. This is lesser known for the future pope credited this to Pius VII when the pair met. In 1820 she was vested in the Trinitarian habit and assumed the name of "Jane Felica della Santissima Trinità". When she learnt that Pius VII would return from his French exile she - in great happiness - asked God to grant the pope safe passage through to Rome. On 29 September 1809 she saw the St. Michael with a legion of angels.

Bl. Elisabetta Mora had an intense devotion for Saint Ignatius and called him both her "father" and her "protector". She was a friend of Blessed Anna Maria Taigi, who was also gifted with visions and prophecy. On 17 June 1814 Bl. Elisabetta Mora returned from church and had a vision in which she saw the late Pope Pius VI who told her that he was in Purgatory for negligences committed in his pontificate. She hurried to tell his confessor who requested her to go five times to the tomb of Pope Pius V and to the tomb of Saint Pudentiana at the church of Santa Pudenziana. God later appeared to Mora and confirmed that Pius VI had been assumed into heaven.

In late December 1824 she became ill - the death of her mother-in-law on 12 December exacerbated this - and she summoned her daughters to her when she felt that her death was near. At 7:00 pm she called Lucina to her and requested that she take all of her writings and to give them to her confessor; she confided that she wanted to burn them but would have them given to her confessor out of obedience. Bl. Mora died during the evening on 5 February 1825 while her two daughters were caring for her. Her husband Cristoforo arrived too late at her deathbed and wept when he saw her dead in the bed; it was there that he repented and felt great shame for his conduct during their marriage. Her prediction came to fruition for her husband joined the Trinitarian Order and later became an ordained priest - in the name of "Antonio" - of the Conventual Franciscans in Sezze and died there on 9 September 1845 (he was ordained in 1834). Her remains were interred in the San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane church in Rome. Her nun daughter became the Superioress of the Oblate Nuns of Saint Philip Neri in Rome as "Maria Josephina" while her nephew Romualdo Canori was a professed brother and the then Vicar-General of the De La Salle Brothers.

The beatification process commenced in Rome in an informative process that opened on 6 September 1864 and later concluded not too long after in July 1867. The formal introduction to the cause came under Pope Pius IX on 26 February 1874 who titled her as a Servant of God while Pope Pius XI later confirmed her heroic virtue and named her as Venerable on 26 February 1928. Pope John Paul II later beatified her on 24 April 1994 at Saint Peter's Square.

✠ ✠ ✠

Her Visions of the Future Chastisement due to the Corruption of the Church – Compacts will be made against the Church - Hell will be Let Loose to Destroy the Evil Ones ( Satan's Century?) - There will be places of shelter for faithful Catholics, St. Peter will choose the new pope (Angelic Pontiff?) after the great devastation of the Church and the earth and the Church will be renewed – all shall convert to the Catholic Church – the Triumph of the Church (Age of Peace).

“On the Feast of St. Peter, 29th of June, 1820, whilst I was praying for the wants of the Church and the conversion of sinners, amongst whom I am the first, I was ravished in spirit, and drawn very near to God. Through an infinite light I was so intimately united to him that I lost all sentiments of myself The sweet impressions of the love of God replenished me with an inexpressible joy and satisfaction. My soul, however, remained calm in these tokens of Divine kindness. Then it seemed to me to behold the heavens opening, and St. Peter, prince of the Apostles, coming down, surrounded with great glory and by a numerous escort of heavenly spirits, singing canticles. St. Peter was dressed in his pontifical robes, and held in his right hand the pastoral staff, with which he used to draw upon the earth an immense cross: at the same time the angels sang these words of the Psalmist, “Constitues eos principes super omnem terram” — You will constitute them princes over the whole earth.

“After this the holy Apostle touched with his staff the four extremities of the cross, from which instantly sprung up four beautiful trees loaded with blossoms and fruits. These mysterious trees had the form of a cross, and were surrounded by a splendid light. Then I comprehended in the depth of my soul that St. Peter had produced these four symbolic trees to the end that they may serve as a place of refuge to the little flocks of the faithful friends of Jesus Christ, and in order to preserve them from the fearful punishment which shall convulse the whole earth. All good Christians shallthen be protected under these trees, together with all those religious persons who shall have faithfully preserved in their hearts the spirit of their order. I say the same thing in relation to the secular clergy and to all other persons of every class who shall have kept in their heart the Catholic faith, they shall all be protected.

But woe, to those religious who do not observe their rule! Thrice unhappy they! For they shall all be struck by that terrible punishment. I say the same to all secular clergy, and to all classes of people in the world who give themselves to a life of pleasure, and who follow the false maxims of modern ideas, which are opposed to the holy precepts of the gospel. These wretched people, who through their scandalous conduct deny the faith of Jesus Christ, shall perish under the weight of the indignant arm of God’s justice.  Not one of them shall be able to escape the punishment.

I beheld those good Christians, who had sought a refuge under those mysterious trees, in the form of beautiful lambs confided to the care and vigilance of St. Peter, their good shepherd, testifying to him the most humble and most respectful obedience. As soon as St Peter, the prince of the Apostles, had gathered the flock of Jesus in a place of safety, he reascended into heaven, accompanied by legions of angels. Scarcely had they disappeared, when the sky was covered with clouds so dense and dismal that it was impossible to look at them without dismay. On a sudden there burst out such a terrible and violent wind, that its noise seemed like the roars of furious lions. The sound of the dreadful hurricane was heard over the whole earth. Fear and terror struck not only men, but the very beasts. (NOTE: this freakish storm as the first major warning has been predicted by other mystics).

“All men shall rise one against the other, and they shall kill one another without pity. (i.e great wars / genocides, revolutions) During this sanguinary conflict the avenging arm of God will strike the wicked, and in his mighty power he will punish their pride and presumption. God will employ the powers of hell for the extermination of these impious and heretical persons who desire to overthrow the Church and destroy it to its very foundation. These presumptuous men in their mad impiety believe that they can overthrow God from his throne; but the Lord will despise their artifices, and through an effect of his almighty hand he will punish these impious blasphemers by giving permission to the infernal spirits to come out from hell. Innumerable legions of demons shall overrun the earth, and shall execute the orders of Divine justice by causing terrible calamities and disasters; they shall attack everything; they shall injure individual persons and entire families; they shall devastate property and alimentary productions, cities and villages. Nothing on earth shall be spared. God will allow the demons to strike with death those impious men, because they gave themselves up to the infernal powers, and had formed with them a compact against the Catholic Church.”

(NOTE the words -- 'infernal powers that formed with them a COMPACT against the Catholic Church', there will be a veritable effort to destroy the Church to where a pact, treaty or contract will be made.  Sounds very much like Marie-Julie Jahenny's prophecies of a conspiracy to start the revolts in France and the world to destroy the Church, and, evil people will make compacts with the devil.  Freemasons will be a huge part of it according to what is revealed in the Marie-Julie Jahenny's visions.) 

Back to Bl. Elisabetta Mora:  "Being desirous of more fully penetrating my spirit with a deeper sentiment of his divine justice, God showed to me the awful abyss; I saw in the bowels of the earth a dark and frightful cavern, whence an infinite number of demons were issuing forth, who under the form of men and beasts came to ravage the world, leaving everywhere ruins and blood. Happy will be all true and good Catholics ! They shall experience the powerful protection of the holy Apostles, St. Peter and St. Paul, who will watch over them lest they may be injured either in their persons or their property. Those evil spirits shall plunder every place where God has been outraged, despised, and blasphemed; the edifices they profaned will be pulled down and destroyed, and nothing but ruins shall remain of them.

“After this frightful punishment I saw the heavens opening, and St. Peter coming down again upon earth; he was vested in his pontifical robes, and surrounded by a great number of angels, who were chanting hymns in his honor, and they proclaimed him as sovereign of the earth. I saw also St. Paul descending upon the earth. By God’s command, he traversed the earth and unchained the demons, whom he brought before St. Peter, who commanded them to return into hell, whence they had come.

“Then a great light appeared upon the earth, which was the sign of the reconciliation of God with man. The angels conducted before the throne of the prince of the Apostles the small flock that had remained faithful to Jesus Christ. These good and zealous Christians testified to him the most profound respect, praising God and thanking the Apostles for having delivered them from the common destruction, and for having protected the Church of Jesus Christ by not permitting her to be infected with the false maxims of the world. St. Peter then chose the new pope. The Church was again organized; religious orders were reestablished; the private families of ordinary Christians, through their great fervor and zeal for the glory of God, became like the most exemplary religious communities. Such is the glorious triumph reserved for the Catholic Church; she shall be praised, honored, and esteemed by all men. All men shall become Catholics, and shall acknowledge the Pope as Vicar of Jesus. Christ. Amen.”
