Adalbert Albert Vogl Therese Neumann was perhaps the most visited stigmatist in the history of the Church. Over the years millions of people saw her briefly in her home or witnessed the passion ecstasies in which she underwent the sufferings of Christ on Fridays, bleeding from the wounds in her hands, feet, head, side and back. The author, Adalbert Albert Vogl, a German-born friend of the Neumann family through his three priest-uncles, was privileged to be welcomed into the Neumann home on numerous occasions and to spend many hours visiting with Therese, her family members and her spiritual director, Father Naber. He was chosen as an official witness in the informative process leading up to the Cause for Therese Neumann's beatification (one of only two witnesses chosen from North America) and is in contact with the Postulator. In this book he has set down only things he knows from his own experience or things told him by Therese herself, by Father Naber, or by others who also knew Therese. Therese Neumann, Mystic and Stigmatist is a primary source of information about this famous mystic and presents a wealth of fascinating stories - many found nowhere else - about her miraculous phenomena and daily life. Mr. Vogl describes Therese's passion ecstasies, her stigmata, her miraculous receptions of Holy Communion, her abstinence from 1926 to 1962 from all food and drink except the Eucharist Host, her living without sleep, her visions and the language phenomenon, her mystical recognition of priests and relics, her recognition of the Holy Eucharist and priestly blessings; her cures and prophecies, and her bilocation and other mystical gifts. The author also describes her activities during World War II, the official investigation by the Archbishop, conversions through her intercession, the rest of the Neumann family, criticisms by her opponents, the throngs of visitors who came to see her, statements on her by priests

Therese Neumann ,Mystic and Stigmatist /Adalbert Vogl,
By A Customer
This review is from: Therese Neumann: Mystic and Stigmatist (1898-1962) (Paperback)
I feel so inspired everytime I read a page or chapter. I am amazed at the abundance of mystical experiences that Therese had throughout her lifetime. From her many visions recorded by the author I now have absolute belief in the events of the New Testament and many other saints then and now. I feel really good that the author spent many years with Therese, her family and many associates giving this book another aspect of authenticiy. This book is a must read for people of all faiths.

A Saint in the making!,
By W. H. McDonald Jr. "The American Author Assoc... (Elk Grove, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Therese Neumann: Mystic and Stigmatist (1898-1962) (Paperback)
Therese Neuman needs to be rediscovered by this younger generation of readers. I first learned of her while reading that spiritual classic book "Autobiogrpahy a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda back in the 1950's. When I read this book it completed the picture for me and filled in the missing years and details of her life.
The author moved to the San Jose area and attended church at Saint Lawerence in Santa Clara. I talked to his perish priest back in the 1990's and at the time he was still alive - although I am no longer sure since he was born in 1910. This book is uplifting and inspiratonal. A must read for all seekers of inner peace and truth.
