Maria Esperanza de Bianchini
Maria Esperanza de Bianchini (November 22, 1928 – August 7, 2004), also known as Servant of God Maria Esperanza, was a Venezuelan mystic, born on the feast of Saint Cecilia in Barrancas in the State of Monagas near the Orinoco River.〔(Biography of Maria Esperanza ) at MariaEsperanza.org〕 On January 31, 2010, in the (Catholic) Cathedral of St Francis of Assisi in Metuchen, New Jersey, the case for the beatification and canonization of Maria Esperanza was opened by the Bishop Paul Bootkoski of the Diocese of Metuchen, which act gave her the title Servant of God. Maria's Marian Apparitions were approved at the local level by the bishop,〔 but not by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which has only approved 12 apparitions to date.〔("Expert explains Church’s criteria for confirming Marian apparitions", Catholic News Agency, May 8, 2008 )〕
==Life==
Born on Nov. 22, 1928, in Barrancas, Venezuela, Bianchini was the mother of seven children and grandmother of 20 children.〔
Believers claim that, while at one point Maria Esperanza considered becoming a nun, it was revealed to her in a vision on October 3, 1954 that her calling was to the married life.〔 It is said that in this vision of St. John Bosco, the saint told her she would first encounter her spouse on November 1, 1955, which she reportedly did.〔 She was particularly devoted to St Thérèse of Lisieux – the “Little Flower”. Believers hold that, from her youth, she lived a life of virtue and fidelity to God and received the gifts of supernatural knowledge, healing, visions, discernment of spirits, locution, ecstasy, levitation, the odor of sanctity, the stigmata, and the ability to read the hearts of others. Witnesses claim to have seen her levitating during mass and engaging in bilocation. Her legend also recounts that Maria received the spiritual direction and the mantle of Saint Padre Pio,〔 and received in the presence of her husband a bilocated visitation from the saint the day before he died.〔Brooks, Stevern, (Where are the Mantles ), p. 49-51, Xulon Books〕
In 1979 she created the Betania Foundation, a lay movement designed to evangelize, educate and develop the well-being of society and family life and promote social justice. Her family continues the mission of the foundation.〔
