Anne Catherine Emmerich (also Anna Katharina Emmerick; 8 September 1774 – 9 February 1824) was a Roman Catholic Augustinian canoness of the Congregation of Windesheim. During her lifetime, she was a purported mystic, Marian visionary, ecstatic and stigmatist.[1]
She was born in Flamschen, a farming community at Coesfeld, in the Diocese of Münster, Westphalia, Germany, and died at age 49 in Dülmen, where she had been a nun, and later became bedridden. Emmerich purportedly experienced visions on the life and passion of Jesus Christ, as revealed to her by the Blessed Virgin Mary under religious ecstasy.[2]
During her bedridden years, a number of well-known figures were inspired to visit her.[1] The poet Clemens Brentano interviewed her at length and wrote two books based on his notes of her visions.[3] The authenticity of Brentano's writings has been questioned and critics have characterized the books as "conscious elaborations by a poet".[4][5]
Pope John Paul II beatified Emmerich on 3 October 2004.[1] However, the Vatican focused on her own personal piety rather than the religious writings associated to her by Clemens Brentano.
