Maria Bolognesi (21 October 1924 – 30 January 1980) was an Italian Catholic. Throughout her life she suffered from debilitating diseases and was reportedly subject to various demonic possessions and visions. Her numerous visions were of Jesus Christ and through him saw Heaven while also receiving the stigmata herself.
Bolognesi was beatified on 7 September 2013; Cardinal Angelo Amato presided over the beatification on the behalf of Pope Francis.[1] The cause opened under Pope John Paul II in 1992 while Pope Benedict XVI had named her as Venerable in mid-2012.
