This venerable Catalina nun was blind throughout her last years. She had great difficulty for walking. However, she never complained or felt unhappy about her fate. Although there was no remedy to diminish her terrible pains, she very humbly accepted what the Lord gave her. She was a model of a superior deliverance and a total confidence in God.

Before she was buried, a painter was able to reproduce her face in a portrait. That is the only graphic testimony left for posterity, as during her life she always avoided that worldly pomp.

The painter had gone to the Monastery in spite of being afflicted with great pains and a swelling over all his body. As soon as he finished painting the portrait of the venerable nun on a small canvas and while he was going out, he became completely healed and his disease disappeared.

Sor Ana de los Angeles died on the 10th. of January 1686. It was not necessary to embalm her body, because of a good odor it gave off.

She was buried in the earthen floor of the Choir of the temple at the Monastery.

Ten months after wards, her body was exhumed and it was found fresh, without any foul smell and with proved flexibility of muscles and joints. The body produced a very peculiar smell preventing people to leave that place.

After her death, there were more miracles. There were many cases of people who were suffering a disease and were healed after commending themselves to Sor Ana, or after touching some object belonging to her. All these happenings made the nuns of the Monastery write testimonies and present a petition on July the tenth 1686, six months after her death, to make of her the first Saint from Arequipa. The process is still continuing.
