Mother of the Poor  •  The Good Christian  •  Pillar of the Faith



My God, four years ago, I gave to you my Body and soul, and the greater portion of my goods. Here is what remains to me; I present it to you with all my heart. What should I now ask of you after having given you my all, unless it be that, from this moment, you take me yourself, to place me near you?
--Catherine Gandeaktena, ca. 1673
