The Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, traditionally known for its discretion, has decided to change its approach.
Instead of keeping decisions under wraps, it now aims to inform the faithful and clergy, allowing them to draw meaningful conclusions.
Ida Peerdeman, a secretary residing in Amsterdam during the mid-20th century, claimed to have experienced visions from 1945 to 1959, where she encountered a luminous woman she referred to as “the Lady of All Nations.”
In 1956, Bishop Johannes Huibers of Haarlem conducted an investigation into Peerdeman’s alleged visions and concluded that there was no evidence to support their supernatural nature.
This decision was endorsed by the Holy Office, which later evolved into the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, confirming the bishop’s findings in 1972 and 1974.
The Life and Early Experiences of Ida Peerdeman
Born on August 13, 1905, in Alkmaar, Netherlands, Ida Peerdeman reported her first encounter with the luminous woman on March 25, 1945.
This figure, bathed in light, identified herself to Peerdeman as “the Lady” and “Mother.”
Recognition and Artistic Depiction
By 1951, the luminous woman purportedly asked to be recognized as “The Lady of All Nations.”
That same year, Heinrich Repke captured her likeness in a painting, showing her atop a globe with a cross in the background.
