Episode Synopsis

Orphaned as a child. Nearly murdered as a teenager. Scarred for life with a blade at her throat. And yet—this little Arab girl, uneducated and poor, became one of the greatest mystics of the 19th century. Known as Saint Mary of Jesus Crucified, Mariam Baouardy lived a life of visions, miracles, ecstasies, and the stigmata. She was lifted in levitation, spoke with angels, and carried the wounds of Christ—while scrubbing floors in a Carmelite convent.In this gripping episode, journey through her incredible story: • Her childhood in Galilee and the miraculous vision of the Virgin that saved her life. • The shocking moment when her throat was slit for refusing to deny her Catholic faith—only to be healed by a mysterious Lady in blue. • Her humble entry into the Carmel of Pau, where she endured suspicion but dazzled her sisters with mystical ecstasies, levitation, and prophecies. • Her fiery devotion to the Holy Spirit, with visions that foretold the renewal of the whole world. • The founding of the Carmel in Bethlehem, built stone by stone with her own hands in the very land of Christ’s birth. • And her final years of suffering, where she united her agony with Jesus Crucified, leaving behind a legacy of hope, humility, and love.If you’ve ever wondered whether God still raises up mystics in our time—this is the story you cannot miss. Her life reads like the Acts of the Apostles: full of fire, visions, and miracles. And yet, she always called herself nothing more than “the little broom of Jesus.”👉 Listen now to discover the astonishing life of Saint Mary of Jesus Crucified—the “Little Arab” who showed the world the forgotten power of the Holy Spirit.
