"Thank you, thank you, thank you." She was buried in Basel five days later on her sixty-fifth birthday. Theology and mysticism She is considered by many to have been a mystic and is reputed to have had supernatural experiences of, for example, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Holy Trinity, a number of saints (including John the Evangelist and Ignatius of Loyola), Christ's Passion, and Hell, as well as incidents of bilocation and stigmata.Aside from her confessor, nobody knew of these reported phenomena during her lifetime, including members of her own religious community. As a doctor, she was also believed to be connected with a number of unexplained healings of patients,often taking on severe penances as a way of sharing in the suffering of others.

The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola imbue much of her thought. Von Speyr's more immediately mystical writings were not released until 1985 and vary in theme and style. The work Book of All Saints gives inner portraits of many saints and historical figures in terms of their
