Born in Echávarri (Navarra ), on January 28, 1900 she was baptized the following day and given the name Agnes. (Ines)Her parents Frances Valentine Zudaire Galdeano , offered a Christian home imbued with the presence of God. The Lord blessed them with 6 children Agnes , with the enthusiasm of her 19 years went to the first monastery of the Visitation of Madrid. She was a very good novice innocent and pliable because she had a great desire to surrender to God .
When in 1931 , because of religious persecution she sought refuge in Oronoz Sr. Maria Ines despite the suffering , felt a great joy to see her family. A sister lamented that after three years of marriage she had no children and Sister Maria Ines said, ” Next year you will have a son.” And so it happened . Sister María Inés believed and trusted in the Lord.
The situation was complicated in 1936 with the civil war in Spain. Sister Maria Ines despite her cowardice , agreed to stay with the group of 7 Sisters in Madrid and told her sisters: ” Pray much for us , they might kill us .” And God accepted her sacrifice and made her one with Him.
