  • blessed
  • Mary Aikenhead: (1787-1858) founder of the Religious Sisters of Charity (or Irish Sisters of Charity)
  • beatified → in the Catholic Church, beatification is one of the stages leading to canonisation (i.e. recognition that a deceased individual is a saint)
  • Matt Talbot: (1856-1925) Dublin ascetic, who always entered churches on his tummy; he wore chains on his body and mortified his flesh, so the term blistered would seem to apply to him rather than to Mary Aikenhead
