[3] Mora had a range of spiritual experiences in which she heard the voice of God and visions of the Madonna and other saints while also experiencing religious ecstasies during her life.

Her parents first entrusted her to the religious at the convent of Santa Euphemia for her initial studies and the Superioress Gertrude Riggoli discovered her keen gifts and wanted her there as a full-time student.

Her father withdrew her from the Santa Euphemia convent due to their poorness and soon after sought help from his Spoleto-based brother when their fortunes began to dwindle.

[4] Elisabetta married the successful solicitor Cristoforo Mora (d. 9 September 1845) on 10 January 1796 in the church of Santa Maria in Campo Corleo and the couple went on to have a total of four children.

On 15 August 1801 she fell ill with severe colic despite the attempts of her father-in-law to treat her and almost died but miraculously was cured; there was no medical explanation for her recovery and she deemed it to be a miracle.

Her husband had reduced them to much poorness to the point that he had stolen a considerable sum from his father, who found out and suffered an apoplectic stroke; he was cured due to Mora's turning to God for His divine intercession.

Her sisters-in-law grew concerned for Mora - as did her mother-in-law - and Cristoforo's sisters went to the Roman authorities for the Papal States to have them reprimand him for his vile mannerisms that ran counter to the faith they held dear.

The Cardinal Vicar of Rome received him at the convent of Santi Giovanni e Paolo and this enraged Cristoforo when he learnt his sisters were behind it and his wife knew of it.

[3] Cristoforo became so enraged with his wife that he pulled out a knife and lunged at her, but did not strike her; he instead fell to his knees and begged for her pardon in a sudden and unexpected moment of fear.

On 22 March 1814 she turned her mind in reflection to Pope Pius VII and had a sudden vision in which she saw the pontiff in the midst of a pack of "wolves".

When she learnt that Pius VII would return from his French exile she - in great happiness - asked God to grant the pope safe passage through to Rome.

On 17 June 1814 she returned from church and had a vision in which she saw the late Pope Pius VI who told her that he was in Purgatory for negligences committed in his pontificate.

[1] Her husband Cristoforo arrived too late at her deathbed and wept when he saw her dead in the bed; it was there that he repented and felt great shame for his conduct during their marriage.
