"Joan's counsel in the war rooms and presence on the battlefield, holding up the standard for all to see and take comfort in, led to many victories and, finally, to the coronation of Charles VIII as rightful king of France...St. Joan of Arc followed God's will as it was revealed to her." - My Badass Book of Saints

Nancy Wake

Nancy Wake

You got Nancy Wake! Nancy was a heroic woman who served as a spy for the French Resistance during World War II. In the midst of this turbulent time, Nancy remained cheerful and strong, serving as an inspiration to servicemen. When she was separated from her husband and unaware of his status, she remained faithful to him.

"Wake was so elusive that the Nazis named her the White Mouse; they were never able to identify her... Her beauty, while legendary among the men under her command, was nothing compared to her courage and grit in the face of the dangers she encountered in the field." - My Badass Book of Saints

Sister Blandina Segale

Sister Blandina Segale

You got Sister Blandina Segale! After being sent to do missionary work in the American West, Sister Blandina was able to serve as a beacon of peace and hope while the area was being settled. Ever peaceful and brave, Sister Blandina singlehandedly stopped a lynch mob from murdering a man. She had several encounters with notorious Wild West figure Billy the Kid, who she tried to convert to a more peaceful way of life.

"Because of her dedication to upholding the human dignity of every person, even Billy the Kid gave her a well-deserved measure of respect that saved her life, and likely those of others as well. Their first meeting occurred when one of the men in Billy's gang was severely wounded and rejected by the local doctors because of his criminal behavior. Sr. Blandina took in the ailing man and tended to his gunshot wound. When Billy the Kid arrived, intent on killing the doctors who had denied one of his men medical treatment, the spunky Sr. Blandina convinced him to let the doctors live. Just imagine Sr. Blandina standing up to her full petite height and sternly telling a hardened criminal to back down. Or else." - My Badass Book of Saints

Irena Sendler

Irena Sendler

You got Irena Sendler! A member of the Polish Resistance Movement during World War II, Irena bravely put her life at risk by taking food and supplies into the ghettos and smuggling children out. She cared deeply for the children she rescued; after the children were given new identities for their safety, Irena preserved their true personal information in the hopes that someday they could be reunited with their parents. She refused to release any information, even while being tortured.

"She moved in and out of the ghetto with credentials from the Epidemic Control Department, secretly bringing food, medicines, and other supplies to the Jewish families. In solidarity with the families she helped, Sendler wore the yellow star all Jews were required to wear, although she herself was a Catholic... From 1942-1943, Irena Sendler, with the help of confederates in the Social Welfare Department, issues hundreds of fake identification papers and smuggled more than 2,500 children to safety." - My Badass Book of Saints

Saint Catherine of Siena

Saint Catherine of Siena

You got Saint Catherine of Siena! A Doctor of the Church, Saint Catherine rejected the traditional path of marriage to care for the poor and sick, especially victims of the Black Plague. A political activist, Saint Catherine served as a trusted adviser to several popes.

"I didn't think women had a voice in that era. But St. Catherine not only had a voice... she knew how to use it" - My Badass Book of Saints

Saint Rita of Cascia

Saint Rita of Cascia

After her husband was killed in a feud, Rita forgave her husband's killer and helped to reconcile the two feuding families. Her love and mercy served as an inspiration to her community.

"[Her] patronage has as its basis the miraculous turnaround she accomplished in her community after her husband was killed in a long-standing feud. St. Rita brought reconciliation to a town in desperate need of peace." - My Badass Book of Saints

Mother Mary Lange

Mother Mary Lange

You got Mother Mary Lange! After fleeing the violence of the Haitian Revolution, Lange and her family settled in Baltimore, Maryland in 1812. Because slavery had not yet been abolished, there were many Haitian children in the area that had no way to get an education. Lange, along with a priest who had also fled from Haiti, opened the Oblate School for Colored Girls. This school still exists today!

"With her humility and desire to fulfill God's plan for her, Mother Lange serves as a wonderful model of virtue.

She was devoted to her family and her community, working day and night to help bring her parents out of financial ruin and to serve the sick and needy in her town.

"When she spoke of Jesus, her face became beatific. Her skin glowed; her eyes sparkled. The love in her heart illuminated her face. Saint Rose could have lived holy life in the quiet obscurity of her bedroom. Instead, she lived a life of service, turning her room into a place where she could care for the homeless children in her community." - My Badass Book of Saints
