In 2006 I heard a story that was so fascinating, I was compelled to tell it! I wrote a complete musical score with songs with the intention of seeing her story played by a symphony on a grand stage with an opera singer playing the part of Sor Maria and a dancer playing the part of her spiritual journey. Her documentary was filmed in West Texas in August of 2015 and the film will use music I composed. Sor Maria is being considered to be acknowledged as a saint. This week Pope Francis was given gifts on her behalf including this book I wrote that tells her story in a format children can easily understand. It is 40 pages long and is full of photos from the shoot.
I was told to insert a card into the book for Pope Francis to read on Nov. 18, 2015. I found a great dragonfly card at Trader Joe's. I figured if the Holy Father chose a Fiat to ride around in when he was in the United States it didn't matter if the card was fancy. The cover says, "Dragonflies are keepers of dreams. They remind us that anything is possible." I felt that this was appropriate because the story is, Sor Maria bilocated to America in 1617 to minister to Native Americans. Although it is difficult to believe in bilocation, the evidence that this really happened is overwhelming. Another strange fact, Maria's body has never decomposed and lies in a glass coffin in her convent in Agreda, Spain.
So what did I write to the pope? I simply said, "Sor Maria's story is important in today's world when people more than ever need to remember that all things are possible with God." If you would like to learn more about Sor Maria visit theladyinblue.com
