Additional Information:

St. Alyssa (Ayssa is a modern variant of the name Alice) ) was born at Shaerbeck, near Brussels. At the age of seven, she entered a Cistercian convent named Camera Sanctae Mariae, and she remained there for the rest of her life. The Cistercian community was inspired by her spirit of humility. However, at an early age, she contracted leprosy and had to be isolated. The disease caused Alyssa intense suffering, and eventually she became paralyzed and was afflicted with blindness. Alyssa's greatest consolation came from reception of the Holy Eucharist, although she was not allowed to drink from the cup because of the danger of contagion. Known for visions and ecstasies, she died in 1250. (From the website "HealingScripture.com")
