Saint Catherine was an unhappy little girl who was subjected to indignities in the house of her paternal uncle. Eventually she passed into the service of the canonesses of Saint Augustine in their convent of Saint Mary Magdalen in Palma, where she spent the balance of her life. Her sanctity did not remain hidden for long. She was subjected to a great number of strange phenomena and mystical experiences that were both consoling and alarming, including the gift of prophecy. Although she tried never to allow these experiences to interfere with the discharge of her duties, during the last years of her life she was continually in ecstasy
