Anne Catherine Emmerich, CRV (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 and stigmatist.[1]
Emmerich was born in Flamschen, an impoverished farming community at Coesfeld, in the Diocese of Münster, Westphalia, Germany, and died in Dülmen (aged 49), where she had been a bedridden nun. 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 Maria Brentano interviewed her at length and wrote several pages 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, highlighting her personal virtues and Catholic piety.[1] The purported “House of the Virgin Mary” in Ephesus is piously associated to her name.
