St. Germaine was raised by her father, without her mother. There were lots of struggles in her life that she had to deal with besides the loss of her mother. She was very sick; her right hand was deformed so she couldn't use it. She had a disease known as "scrofula" which left a large ugly lump on her neck.

People were not very nice to St.

Late Medieval Christianity in Europe was known for conflict and death. Terrible weather conditions made food production drop which led to starvation. A deadly plague, known as the Black Death, emerged. The economy was falling apart. Churches went from a place of safety to a place of wrongdoing, which ultimately led to the Hundred Years’ War. Despite this devastation, there was one influential mystic woman, Catherine of Siena, who was trying to bring everyone back to peace. Catherine devoted herself to religion at a young age.

Genevieve prophesied that if people fled the city, they would be ravaged and murdered. Instead, she encouraged all matrons to pray with her while their husbands fought. This again enraged the Parisian leaders, but Saint Germanus interceded by offering up consecrated Eucharistic loaves. After the siege of Paris, Genevieve continued performing miracles and also exorcisms. In 480, Paris was besieged by the Franks. Genevieve bravely led her matrons with a fleet of boats on the Seine River to supply trapped citizens with grain and nourishment. Genevieve died around the year 500 at the age of 82. During her lifetime, she was known as caretaker for the poor and sick. This role is similar to other saints of her times. After her death, her hagiography praises her miracle abilities since the shrine of her burial becomes a site for miracles of healings. Genevieve was soon sainted as the protector of Paris and her name is continually invoked to this day as a provider of healing and guardianship. Author Lisa Bitel notes how the work of Genevieve helped build Christianity within barbarian Europe by way of her famed public miracles and continual

St. Vincent is an R-rated movie that is based on the unusual relationships between several unlikely people. It is cataloged as a comedy, but there are definite elements of drama throughout the story. It is in the relationships between the characters that we find the true story of St. Vincent.

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.
