  • Blessed Maria Angela Astorch (1592-1665)
    Blessed Maria Angela Astorch (1592-1665) erónima Maria Agnese, born 1 September 1592 in Barcelona, was the last of four children born to Cristobál Astorch and Caterina. She had no time to know her mother who died twelve months later. Entrusted to a nurse, she was orphaned of her father at the age of five or six years. Her sister Isabel followed a group of young people attracted by the spirituality Jof the Capuchin Poor Clare Angela Serafina Prat. Even the little Jeronima was quickly caught up in this phenomenon – more so when she was seven years old. After eating bitter almonds she was at death’s door and arrangements were being made for her funeral. Mother Serafin intervened. In an ecstasy she restored the little girl to life. Later she would write, “My childhood ended when I was seven. From then on I was already a judicious and adroit woman, and therefore patient, measured, silent and truthful.” Her tutors had her study when she was nine. She learned to read and write as well as the usual work assigned then to women. She displayed a real passion for books, especially books in Latin. He teacher was filled with admiration. Therefore great plans were made for her future. She, however, wanted to follow the example of her sister and asked entry to the monastery. After some concerns with the relatives, and given her advanced maturity for her eleven years of age, she was able to realise her desire. On 16 September 1603 she crossed the threshold of the enclosure, taking with her the six volumes of the Latin breviary that she could read perfectly.
