Blessed Maria Angela Astorch (†1665) was a Capuchin Poor Clare, mystic, and founder of monasteries in Zaragoza and Murcia. Orphaned young, she joined the Capuchin Poor Clares at age 11, professing in 1609. As novice mistress and abbess, she led with compassion, introducing daily Communion and fostering spiritual growth. Known as the “Mystic of the Breviary,” her deep liturgical devotion inspired her writings and mystical experiences. Despite challenges like floods and defamation, her leadership strengthened her communities. Beatified by Pope John Paul II on May 23, 1982, her feast day is December 2.
