She inspired many people to convert to christianity and gave people better and new lives. To me Saint Eugenia seemed very kind, forgiving and she just wanted everyone to be happy, this is one of the reasons Jesus wanted her to share his day with her. My opinion on why she was accepted into heaven by god was that he saw a lot of himself in Saint Eugenia. I could never do what Saint Eugenia did, she went off hiding as a man just to worship God and did not even tell her family what she was doing. Even if I tried my hardest to stay away from my parents I probably couldn’t even do that.…

He left Rome and his education in order to live in solitude and discern God’s will.…
