PICENARDI, Elisabetta, Blessed. - Mystic, b. in Mantua in 1428, d. there on 19 February 1468. She was admitted as a young girl into the convent of the Sisters of the Third Order of the Servants of Mary in her native city, where she led an angelic life.
She tormented her body with fasts, hair shirts and disciplines. She received choice charisms from God, among which was a wondrous infused knowledge that enabled her to understand the most hidden meanings of the psalms of the Divine Office that she recited daily. She was distinguished by a particular devotion to the Most Holy Virgin, who appeared to her several times. Through the efficacy of her intercession with the Virgin she received the title of "Mediatrix with the Mother of God." She died on the aforementioned date, refreshed by an apparition of the Most Holy Mary with the Child Jesus. Pius VII confirmed her cult by decree of 20 November 1804.
