St. Rafqa

St. Rafqa Pietra Chobok was known for her personal piety as a Lebanese Maronite nun. From a young age, she knew she wanted to be a nun, and when she was thirty, she officially joined the Mariamette Sisters. She spent her time as a nun in various monasteries throughout Lebanon where her experiences in personal prayer inspired the hard work that she performed in her order. Even as she became more well-known for her personal piety, she remained humble and obedient to her superiors. She was canonized in 2001 by Pope John Paul II.
