Daughter
of Iago de Escobar, professor of civil and canon law, and governor of Osuna,
and Margaret Montana. Raised in a pious family. Spiritual student of Venerable
Luis de Ponte. She suffered from poor health, and was bedridden from age fifty.
Established a branch of the Brigittine Order with rules modified to suit her
times and country. A mystic and visionary, Marina's revelations were written
down by her, arranged by Venerable Luis de Ponte, and published after her
death. Book I deals with the extraordinary means by which God led her; Book II
has revelations about the mysteries of redemption; Book III concerns God and
the Blessed Trinity; Book IV is about Guardian Angels and the Blessed Virgin
Mary; Book V gives means to help souls in purgatory and to save souls on earth;
and Book VI reveals her perfection under terrible physical sufferings. (http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/indexsnt.htm)
