Feb. 9 Blessed Anne Catherine EmmerichBorn to
poor but pious
peasants. She was a very pious
child who suffered with
poor health, but who received visions and prophesies; they were so commmon that she thought all
children could see the Child Jesus and the souls in

farms, as a
seamstress, and as a
servant to a
poor organist where she
studied the instrument. …
