Alexandrina: The Agony and The Glory (1979) Francis Johnston Paperback Very Good

TAN Books, 1979. Trade paperback of Alexandrina: The Agony and The Glory by Francis Johnston.

Blessed Alexandrina da Costa (1904–1955) was a Portuguese mystic and victim soul of the Catholic Church. Paralyzed after jumping from a window to escape an assault, she spent over three decades bedridden, enduring immense physical and spiritual suffering, which she mystically united with Christ's Passion every Friday. This book details the most astonishing aspect of her life: for the last thirteen years, she reportedly survived solely on Holy Communion as her only nourishment.

Very Good. Previous owner's marking to top corner of the half-title page. Nice book with light shelf wear.
