For the purpose of this paper I am researching and reflecting on Saint Pauline Mother of the agonizing hearts of Jesus. The reason I have selected Saint Pauline is because she was a suffering diabetic that followed in the work of Jesus Christ. Pauline is also the name I received when I was confirmed in 2012.
