Early in 1813, doctors discovered stigmata on Emmerich's body. Her parish priest summoned two doctors to examine her. Three months later, when knowledge of the anomaly spread, he informed the vicar general. With the news making a stir in town, the ecclesiastical authorities launched an extensive investigation. Many doctors wanted to investigate the case, and despite efforts to deter the curious, some visitors got entrance because of their rank or status. During this time, the poet and romanticist Clemens Brentano made his first visit. Emmerich claimed that as a child, she had visions in which she spoke with Jesus, saw people in purgatory, and saw the core of the Holy Trinity in the form of three concentric, interpenetrating complete spheres. The largest but dimmest sphere symbolized the Father core, the medium was the Son's core, and the smallest and brightest was the Holy Spirit's core. Each sphere of the omnipresent God extends to infinity beyond heaven's core. According to the Brentano compilation, a child (believed to be Jesus) visited Emmerich during her childhood illness and taught her about plants she should take to heal, including Morning Glory flower juice, which contains ergine.

The Life of the Virgin Mary is the eighth volume of the long-awaited "New Light on the Visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich" series. Following an initial overview, the first part the visionary presents Mary's parents Anne and Joachim, entering into considerable detail about their Essene ancestors on Mount Horeb, closing with the immaculate conception (under the golden gate). Part two covers Mary's birth (including its effects in many places), presentation, life in the Temple, and wedding. Part three provides intimate details of the annunciation, visitation, journey to Bethlehem, the caves (cave of the nativity and the milk cave), the nativity, and the adoration of the shepherds. Part four focuses on the Mary's relationship with Elizabeth, the arrival of the three kings, the purification, flight into Egypt, life in Egypt, and return. Part 5 describes Mary's latter years and death and assumption at Ephesus. Finally, part 6 offers visionary insights into Mary as mystical Virgin. Anne Catherine Emmerich was born on September 8, 1774, at Flamske, Germany. From early childhood she was blessed with the gift of spiritual sight and lived almost constantly in inner vision of scenes of the Old and New Testaments. Later, her visions became concerned primarily with the life of Jesus Christ, although they encompassed also the lives of many saints and other personages (some unknown to history) as well as far-reaching insights into many other mysteries. In 2004 she was beatified by Pope John Paul II. This series supplements an earlier Angelico publication: The Visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich, Books I-III. In 2009 the original notes of Anne Catherine's visions (in 38 notebooks) became for the first time available for reference, and the present series incorporates much new material translated therefrom. With regard to both individuals and themes, every reference thus far located in the notes and in prior translations have been woven together, so the reader can find in one place almost all of what Anne Catherine had to say on each topic. As regards the series as a whole, virtually every individual in the biblical visions (approximately 250 in total) is referenced in the five People of the New Testament volumes. The Life of the Virgin Mary is dedicated to Mary (and her Essene ancestry), and Scenes from the Lives of the Saints treats of fifty-nine saints. The present volume forms a set with Mysteries of the Old Testament and two further volumes cover a multitude of separate themes: Inner Life and Worlds of Soul & Spirit and Spiritual Works and Journeys. The final volume is The Life of Anne Catherine Emmerich.
