St. Laura Montoya y Upegui (Mother Laura), a Colombian Catholic mystic, described her lifelong mystical experience with God through distinctive inner images, particularly in her autobiography *History of the Mercies of God in a Soul*. This analysis examines those images and their aesthetic narrative qualities, showing how they form a richer understanding of both her mystical experience and her written work.
