Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi, was an Italian Carmelite nun and mystic, born on 2 April 1566.
De' Pazzi had been a novice for a year when she became critically ill. Death seemed near, so her superiors let her make her profession of religious vows in a private ceremony, while lying on a cot in the chapel.
Immediately after, she fell into an ecstasy that lasted about two hours.This was repeated on the following 40 mornings, each time after Communion.
It was believed that de' Pazzi could read the thoughts of others and predict future events. As a safeguard against deception and to preserve the revelations, the de' Pazzi confessor asked her to dictate her experiences to her fellow nuns.
Over the next six years, five large volumes were filled.
De' Pazzi died on 25 May 1607, at the age of 41. She was buried in the choir of the monastery chapel. In 1668, in preparation for her canonization, her body was declared miraculously incorrupt. Her relic corpse is located in the Monastery of Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi in Careggi.
