- Profile
- Almost nothing is known of her early life; we don't even know if she was from Norwich or chose to move there.
Recluse under the direction of Benedictines in Norwich, England.
Mystic, visionary, and writer.
Her book, Revelations of Divine Love, which contains sixteen revelations she received while in an ecstatic trance, is still in print.
She meditated on, spoke on, and wrote on the power of love of evil, Christ's Passion, and the nature of the Trinity.
In her early 60s she shut herself in complete seclusion at Conisford, Norwich, and never left again.
