St. Alice Of Schaerbeck
My saint that I choose was St. Alice of Schaerbeck. Her feast day is June 15 and she is the patron saint of people who are blind or paralyzed.
At the age of seven she was sent to the Cistercian Convent of Camera Sanctae Mariae to receive an education. Alice was known for being humble and kind, so she fit in well because of that. Then she became stricken with leprosy, yet it was hard for her because she loved people more than anything. She loved to talk to them and help them. But Alice keep strong in her prayer which brought her closer to God. After a year of battling the disease she became blind, then later she became completely paralyzed.
St. Alice of Schaerbeck died Saturday 11 June 1250. She died because of natural causes. Cistercian
