In English | Love letter from Francisco de São Joaquim, friar, to Maria do Espírito Santo. The author tells his beloved that the convent guard already knows about their affair, but he has managed to control any leak of this information. He also says that he faces any adversity, even the devil, just to be with her. Maria do Espírito Santo claimed to be haunted by the demon and was submitted to an exorcism more than once. During one of these supernatural episodes she was assisted by the friar Francisco de São Joaquim Bom Sucesso, who spend the nights with her, at her request. Maria do Espírito Santo was arrested and, while in prison, gave birth to a boy. She was condemned to being publicly whipped and sent to exile for four years, among other penances. |
