Mines The generals have their fourth blessing in Catholic Church, last step before canonization. After Father Eustquio, Nh Chica and Father Victor, it was time to Isabel Cristina Mrad Campos, born in 1962, in Barbacena, in the Central Region. THE Pope Francisco recognized, as revealed yesterday, the young woman’s martyr, murdered at 20 when he was studying in Juiz de Fora, in the Zona da Mata. On September 1, 1982, a man tried to rape her, but she would have fought to the death to defend her virginity, receiving 15 stab wounds. The crime disrupted the student’s desire to take a medical entrance exam.

“Now the Vatican remains to set the date for the beatificationtherefore, with the declaration of recognition as a martyr, there is no need for proof of a miracle at this stage “, explains Monsignor Danival Milagres Coelho, vicar general of the clergy of the Archdiocese of Mariana and head of the Parish of Santurio Nossa Senhora da Piedade, in Barbacena, which keeps the remains of the young woman, there is also a memorial dedicated to her, her uncles live in the municipality.

Her story is similar to that of Saint Maria Goretti”, compares Monsignor Danival, referring to Maria Teresa Goretti (1890-1902), a young Italian Catholic , revered as a saint. and a martyr, and murdered at the age of 11 in an attempted rape. In the later stage or canonization (to become a saint), proof of a miracle is needed. “There are many records of appreciation achieved by his intercession,” added the Monsignor.
