Alexandrina Maria da Costa
Alexandrina Maria da Costa (30 March 1904 – 13 October 1955), also known as Blessed Alexandrina of Balazar, was a Portuguese mystic and victim soul, member of the Association of Salesian Cooperators, who was born and died in Balazar (a rural parish of Póvoa de Varzim).〔(Biography at the Vatican website )〕 Alexandrina left many written works, which have been studied mainly in Italy by Father Umberto Pasquale. On 25 April 2004 she was declared blessed by Pope John Paul II who stated that ''"her secret to holiness was love for Christ"''.〔(Vatican web site: John Paul II Homily )〕
==Early life==
Alexandrina Maria da Costa was born at 30 March 1904, in Balazar, a rural parish of Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal. In her teens she started to work, sewing garments along with her sister in Balazar.〔Michael Freze, 1993, ''They bore the wounds of Christ'', OSV Publishing ISBN 0-87973-422-1 page 279〕
Alexandrina said that when she went with other girls to the countryside, she picked flowers that she later used to make flower carpets to the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows in Póvoa de Varzim. One day, she started bleeding from her head, due to a crown of spines, she said. Jesus spoke to her and called her ''Alexandrina das Dores'' (Alexandrina of Sorrows).
At 14 years old, in March 1918 an incident changed her life. Her former employer along with three other men tried to break into her room. To escape them, Alexandrina jumped 13 feet down from a window, barely surviving. Her spine was broken from the fall and she suffered gradual paralysis that confined her to bed from 1925 onward. She remained bed-ridden for about 30 years.〔〔
