Saint Laura of Saint Catherine of Siena,the first Colombian born saint, was canonized by Pope Francis in 2013 (“St. Laura of St. Catherine of Siena”). Having very little memory of her Dad, Laura Montoya y Upegui never had a strong father figure, however she never let this stop her from being who she wanted to be.

Catherine of Siena was born in Italy in 1347 at a time when political and religious changes were affecting the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. Dedicating her life to the Holy Spirit from a very young age, Catherine pursued a life of purity and simplicity that served as a background to her great literary work, The Dialogue of the Divine Providence . Her work focuses on the importance of prayer and its transcendent power in human life.

Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska was born Helena Kowalska on August 25, 1905 in Głogowiec, Poland. Helena’s family was very religious, so she and her nine siblings grew up with an understanding of the Catholic faith, despite their immense poverty. It was apparent that she was deeply interested in Catholicism from a very young age. She first attended Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament at the impressionable age of seven. From there, her love of prayer and devotion to the Lord only increased. She celebrated her first Holy Communion at age nine. Helena only had a three-year education. Right when she got out of school, she wanted to enter a convent. However, her parents refused to give her permission. Once she became old enough, Helena got a job as a housekeeper to support herself and her family. She never could have expected the coming wonders the Lord had in store for her.

Thérèse did so without question, though she still had to constantly ask permission for everything and could never take her full vows as a nun. A few weeks later, she fell ill and coughed blood. She didn't tell anyone, but she became very obviously sick by the next year, and was bed-bound. Through her illness, she smiled and stayed so positive that some people actually questioned her illness, though she was in unimaginable pain. Thérèse died on September 30, 1897.

Saints are always different from everyday people, thus no one understands them in their lives, only a lot of years after their death. Joan of Arc was a saint like this as well, she was too far ahead of her times and was killed by her fellow men, because they didn’t know what else to do. She was canonized in 1920, after 489 years of her death. In my opinion, she was not only a saint, but meant to be an angel and showed a good example to all of us, how to behave ourselves in the name of honour, honesty, and glory.

As a child, Clare was devoted to prayer. Even Though, There is no mention of this in any historical record, it is thought that Clare was to be wed in line with the family tradition. But, at the age of 18 she heard Francis preach during a Lenten service in the church of San Giorgio at Assisi, and asked him for his help to live after the way of the Gospel. On the night of Palm Sunday, March 20, 1212, she left her home, with her aunt Bianca, proceeded to the chapel of the Porziuncula to meet Francis. There, her hair was cut, and she gave him her beautiful gown for a plain robe and veil. Her father tried to persuade her to come home, but she told her father that she would have no other husband but Jesus Christ. Francis soon sent her away to another monastery of the Benedictine

In the Middle Ages, a woman might have several reasons to be a nun. Some of them, for example, wanted to dedicate themselves to the God; or their families couldn’t afford a daughter and sent them to the convent; or they were not attractive enough to appeal a man and got marriage so they went to the convent. Although we don’t know the reason the prioress becoming the nun, she mustn’t have gone to the convent because of believing in god for she lacked a true religious calling. Besides, as for her background, there are many suggestions she was from a noble family. Last but not the least, the brooch the prioress wore had some words: “Amor vincit omnia” which means “love conquers all”. Nevertheless, her “amor” wasn’t to the god but to other
