Blessed is Her Name is a prose adaptation of an "inspired" screenplay written by Barbara Oleynick in 2000. It is based on the spiritual writings of Mary of Jesus of greda, a devout Franciscan nun from Agreda, Spain, commonly known as Maria de greda (1602- 1665). Claiming to record divine revelations, The Mystical City of God details the mysteries of the Divine Life and Death of the Virgin Mary, celebrated as Mother of Humanity and Queen of Heaven. Originally a 4000-page Spanish text divided into four volumes, it was later translated into German in 1885 by the Redemptorist Fathers. Inspired by the German edition, Chicago priest Father George J. Blatter learned Spanish to produce an English translation, first published in 1912. In September of 1999, Barbara began work-shopping her thesis from NYU a musical called The Miracle of Fatima. While visiting a local Catholic bookstore she experienced a serendipitous encounter when The Mystical City of God (English edition) literally fell off a bookstore shelf onto her foot. Struck by the work, she read it throughout the year, often rereading chapters of the 1000-page tome. She began writing a screenplay, something she had never done before on December 8, 2000, and finishing on December 25th. This new narrative adaptation of that screenplay brings the history and divine life of the Virgin Mother of God to a wider audience. For the time has come for Her to Triumph
