About the potential saint Marie of the Incarnation, biography and history, causes and current status.

MARIE OF THE INCARNATION (1599-1672)

Cause. Soon after her husband's death, she began receiving revelations concerning the Incarnation, the Sacred Heart, and the Trinity. Leaving her 12-year-old son in the care of her sister, she entered a monastery.

While there, she wrote Relation of 1633, which, with Relation of 1654 (written in Canada), provides a history of her mystical life. Later, in 1639, she set sail for Canada, becoming the 1st woman missionary to the New World.

Devil's Advocate. Though she may have been a woman of sanctity, God obviously has not chosen to work miracles through her.

Nomination. Her cause was introduced in 1893.

Present Stage. She was declared "Venerable" by Pope Pius X on July 19, 1911.
