THERESE NEUMANN DIES
KONNERSR EUTH, Germany,
(NC) - Therese Neumann, Ger
man stigmatic, has died here
at the age of 64 of a heart
ailment.
Father Joseph Naber, 92-
year-old former pastor of Kon-
nersreuth who was for a long
time an advisor of Miss Neu
mann, was at her bedside when
she died (Sept. 18).
Miss Neumann began to suf
fer the stigmata — bleeding
from what appeared to be
wounds in her hands, feet and
forehead as did Christ during
his Passion—36 years ago. For
three decades thousands of
people witnessed her sufferings
which took place in a darkened
room of the cottage where she
lived with her family. In re
cent years, visitors were
barred because of her poor
health.
For more than a quarter of
a century, it was claimed, Miss
Neumann ate no food save the
Eucharist. It was also report
ed that she spoke Aramaic,
the language of Christ, during
her sufferings.
Church authorities have nev
er ruled on the possible super
natural origin of Miss Neu
mann’s stigmata. In 1957, Fa
ther Reginald Omez, O.P., re
ported that a medical investi
gation authorized by the Reg
ensburg diocese and urged by
the Bavarian Bishops and the
Sacred Congregation of the Holy
Office was never carried out
because of the attitude of Miss
Neumann’s father.
Each week, from Thursday
midnight until the afternoon of
Friday, she is said to have
suffered an ecstatic agony dur
ing which drops of blood exuded
through the pores of her skin.
Miss Neumann’s abstension
from food and drink, and some
other aspects of her life, made
her a controversial figure.
Born in Konnersreuth, a
small village near the Czech
oslovak border, on April 9,
1898, Therese was the eldest
of 10 children.
