According to certain theories and testimonies, Sister Ana de los \u00c1ngeles is thought to have been born on July 26, 1604, although there is no way of knowing the exact date, given that her baptismal certificate was lost in a fire that broke out in the sacristy of the Great Church of Arequipa, the predecessor to the city\u2019s first cathedral, in 1620. Ana was the fourth of eight children born to Sebasti\u00e1n de Monteagudo and Francisca de Le\u00f3n: Francisco, Mariana, Catalina, (Ana), Juana, In\u00e9s, Andrea, and Sebasti\u00e1n. We know that Francisco was a priest; Mariana married Gabriel L\u00f3pez de Pastrana; Catalina married Gonzalo Tamayo; and In\u00e9s married Bernardino de Meneses. Nothing is known of the other siblings, who are presumed to have died from one of the plagues that ravaged the city in those days. Sister Ana was handed over to the Catherinian nuns at the age of 3 for her education and instruction, which, at that time, primarily involved moral and religious formation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

MIRACLES AND PREDICTIONS<\/strong>
\nSister Ana de los \u00c1ngeles de Monteagudo\u2019s close ties to souls in Purgatory played a decisive role in her predictions, which generally had to do with death. On several occasions, she predicted the illness of those close to her; for some, she foresaw a recovery, while for others, she predicted their inevitable passing. These omens were often received with repudiation, mistrust, and incredulity by those who were, in one way or another, affected. Aside from her predictions, Sister Ana de los \u00c1ngeles also had a hand in a series of extraordinary events during her lifetime. Those who knew her personally counted a total of sixty-eight predictions\u2014all of which came true\u2014made by the venerable nun.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

FINAL YEARS<\/strong>
\nThe venerable Catherinian nun spent her final years in the shadows of blindness. She experienced great difficulty in walking, but she never complained or felt her fate to be unlucky. Despite the fact that there was no remedy able to sooth her terrible aches and pains, she humbly accepted everything that the Lord had in store for her, acting as a model of unfailing dedication and complete trust in God. Before Sister Ana was buried, a painter captured her features in a portrait, which is the sole and true visual testimony of her face that has remained for posterity\u2019s sake, since she avoided such earthly pomp in life. The painter came to the convent in spite of the severe pain he had been suffering in recent days. He had even experienced bloating throughout his body. After he finished painting his portrait of the venerable nun on a small canvas, he started to leave. Before he had even made it to the door, he was completely and immediately cured of the illness that had affected him. Sister Ana de los \u00c1ngeles died on January 10, 1686. After Sister Ana\u2019s death, it was not necessary to embalm her body, given the pleasant odor that it gave off. She was buried in the earthen floor of the convent\u2019s church choir.a<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
