Sr. Anna Ali was born on 29th December 1966 at Kipkelion in Kericho district as the first born child of the late Ali Abdulrahmani and Prisca Nyambura.
She attended Kipkelion Primary School and Koru Girls Secondary School where she obtained her Form Four Certificate. She entered the convent in 1986 in the Pious Union of Jesus the Good Shepherd Congregation. She made her first religious profession on 7th September 1991 in Rome. While in Rome she had her first vision of Jesus in early August 1987. On Corpus Christi Thursday 1988, Jesus appeared to Sister Anna Ali in tears of blood. On both occasions she requested Jesus if she could photograph Him since she could not draw. Jesus allowed Himself to be photographed by Sr. Anna and gave the following reasons:
"Listen to Me. I am above this earth. I allow Myself to be seen after many warnings" (12.15 a.m., 3rd April 1988); "I make Myself visible in order to bring back souls" (10th April 1988);
"I love mankind and I make Myself visible in order to give My warnings of mercy" (12th April 1988); and "Many do not listen to Me because they do not believe in My reality" (23rd April 1988).
The first Divine Appeal message was written on 8th September 1987 after Jesus instructed her to write the messages. She described that whenever Jesus came, He came with His own powerful light and the room was filled with a sweet fragrance, which remained in the room for a long time.
She left the Pious Union of Jesus the Good Shepherd in 1996 and became a hermit living under the care and spiritual guidance of Rev. Bishop Cornelius arap Korir of the Catholic Diocese of Eldoret. Sr. Anna Ali took private final vows with Rev. Bishop Cornelius arap Korir and took on the title of Sr. Anna Ali of the Most Holy Eucharist as instructed by Jesus in the Divine Appeal message of 15th October 1998. For 25 years till her death, Sr. Anna Ali shed tears of blood every Thursday from midnight of every Wednesday to the whole of Thursday. This phenomena started after her vision of Jesus in tears of blood.
Sr. Anna Ali was born to eternal life on 6th June 2012. Her body was laid to rest on 16th June 2012 at St. Patricks Catholic Parish, Burnt Forest, in the Catholic Diocese of Eldoret.
The message of the Divine Appeals is a message of mercy that calls us to repentance, reparation and atonement for our sins. Jesus asks for sincere prayer for the conversion of humanity. He asks for consolation and adoration in the Most Holy Eucharist. He says, “In the Sacrament of My Love I must be exposed for as I am exposed I will pour the treasure of my Love and Mercy to the souls.”
The messages also contain urgent warnings of mercy to mankind. Jesus says, “This is the apocalyptical hour; it is urgent for mankind to be conscious of this terrible reality”; “My Divine Mercy is followed by My Divine Justice”; and “My desire is that mankind be converted through prayers, sacraments, confessions, Holy sacrifice of the Mass and rosaries”.
