1884, Luisa Piccarreta was undergoing a significant turning point in her spiritual life following a vision of Jesus carrying the Cross. This specific period in 1884 is marked by the following developments:
Appointment of a Special Confessor: Due to her mysterious physical states— particularly a death-like "rigidity" that only a priest's blessing could break-Archbishop Giuseppe B. Dottula assigned Fr. Michele De Benedictis to be her special confessor in 1884.
Luisa submitted herself in complete obedience to him, opening the "depths of her soul" to his guidance.
Life as a Victim Soul: Having previously offered herself to Jesus as a "Victim Soul" after seeing Him suffer, she received permission during this period to remain constantly in bed and began her lifelong practice of extreme fasting, often abstaining from all food except for a small daily meal (which she would typically vomit back up).
Transition to Permanent Bedrest: 1884
effectively marked the beginning of her 64-year period of being confined to her bed, where she remained until her death in 1947.
Pope Leo XIlI granted permission for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to be offered in Luisa Piccarreta's bedroom on March 8, 1898.
This special privilege allowed Luisa, who was permanently bedridden, to receive the Eucharist daily and attend Mass from her room. Key details surrounding this event include: •
Official Document: The permission was granted via a papal rescript.
Confirmation: This privilege was later confirmed by Pope Saint Pius X in 1907.
Context: The request was made during the time when Father Gennaro de Gennaro had recently become Luisa's confessor.
