In this third episode of the Fatima Today martyrdom series, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran share the powerful story of Blessed Alexandrina da Costa, often called the “fourth seer of Fatima.” After a heroic act to defend her purity left her paralyzed, she embraced her suffering as a victim soul, offering it for the conversion of sinners. For the last 13 years of her life, she lived on the Eucharist alone, a living witness to Christ’s Real Presence.
Her deep devotion, mystical experiences, and life of sacrifice continue to inspire the Church today.
