Today is the feast of a little known Carmelite saint who was a famous mystic, known as the “Ecstatic Virgin” - St Mary Magdalene de Pazzi
She experienced visions of God and her emphasis was on Jesus the Incarnate Word revealing himself to her, with her as the “Bride of the Word”.
She is the patron of Third Order Carmelites and like St Catherine of Siena she also prayed for Church reform and write letters to the hierarchy.
In her famous words - “let us love Love!”
