Lola, a Servant of God, had the only authorization from the church to keep the Blessed Sacrament permanently in her room.

Lola was born in Mercês (MG) and, at the age of 22, suffered a fall from a jaboticaba tree that left her paraplegic. From that accident, her life took a profoundly religious turn, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus . She spent her following years bedridden, devoting herself to prayer and counseling thousands of faithful who traveled to her home seeking comfort and miracles through her intercession with God.

The most famous characteristic of her biography is, in fact, the unprecedented Eucharistic experience (the ability to nourish herself only with the Eucharist and no other food or water). According to accounts from the time, biographers and witnesses, it is claimed that she spent about 60 years without ingesting solid or liquid food. Her only sustenance was said to have been the daily Eucharist. She also no longer felt sleepy and did not sleep, spending the day and night in Eucharistic adoration.

Investigation: In the 1950s, by order of the Archbishop of Juiz de Fora, Lola was subjected to rigorous observation by doctors and nuns for weeks. The final report concluded that, during the surveillance period, she did not ingest anything and showed no signs of dehydration or malnutrition that would explain her biological survival.

Lola was seen as a "victim soul," someone who offered her suffering for the conversion of sinners and for priests. In addition to fasting, many devotees reported that she possessed gifts of prophecy and the ability to read souls.

She passed away on April 9, 1958. In 2005, the Vatican granted the Nihil Obstat, officially making her a Servant of God, and her beatification process was opened.
