"Marie of Oignies (born Nivelles, now Belgium, 1177, died 1213) was a Beguine, known from the Life written by James of Vitry, for Fulk of Toulouse.Marie did not live a cloistered life following an approved rule, but rather adopted a free form of devout life marked by strenuous asceticism and manual labour, as well as mystical gifts of a new kind. Marie received many visions from God, experienced ecstasy and wept uncontrollably when meditating on the Passion of Christ."@en . . "1177Z"^^ . "Blessed Marie of Oignies"@en . . .
