St. Jeanne Jugan carried a blind, forgotten old woman home in her own arms — and started a worldwide order.
On a cold winter night in France, Jeanne Jugan carried an elderly, blind woman named Anne into her own home and gave her, her own bed. More elderly poor kept arriving, and Jeanne kept making room — begging door to door for whatever they needed. Though a priest later took credit for founding her congregation and pushed her aside for the rest of her life, the Little Sisters of the Poor she truly started now serve in more than thirty countries.
"She called what she did simply 'making room.'"

A slave girl's quiet faith led her wealthy Roman mistress all the way to martyrdom — and to heaven.
Serapia, a young Christian slave in ancient Rome, never preached to her mistress Sabina — she simply lived her faith so visibly that Sabina couldn't stop noticing, and eventually asked to be baptized herself. When Serapia was arrested and martyred for her faith, Sabina stepped forward publicly as a Christian too, choosing martyrdom rather than staying safely silent.
"The slave went first. The mistress followed."
⭐Following Sts. Sabina and Serapia's example doesn't have to end when the episode does.

St. Moses the Black led a gang of bandits through Egypt before becoming one of the desert's holiest monks.
Once the leader of a feared robber gang along the Nile, Moses found peace he'd never known when he took refuge in a monastery and stayed. His conversion wasn't easy — he wrestled with anger and pride for years — but he became one of the great teachers of the desert, known for radical humility about his own past even as a priest and elder.
"My sins are running out behind me, and I have come to judge the sins of another?"

St. Monica prayed and fasted for her wayward son for seventeen straight years — and never once gave up.
St. Monica wept for years over her brilliant but faithless son, Augustine, who ran from God and from her — even sailing away from Africa in the night without saying goodbye. She followed him all the way to Milan, praying and fasting the entire way, until she watched him step into the baptismal font at the Easter Vigil, at last a Catholic Christian.
"It is impossible that the son of so many tears should perish."

St. Mariam Baouardy, an orphaned servant girl left for dead at thirteen, was nursed back to life by Our Lady herself.
After refusing to renounce her Catholic faith, young Mariam Baouardy was attacked and left for dead in the streets of Alexandria — and woke in a cave, healed and cared for by a woman in blue she came to recognize as Our Lady. She went on to join the Carmelites, help found the first Carmelite monastery in Bethlehem, and lived a life of deep, hidden prayer marked by extraordinary mystical gifts.
"She called herself 'the Little Nothing.'"
⭐Following St. Mariam's example doesn't have to end when the episode does.
