This week I learned about Marie of the Incarnation of Marie Guyart. Marie was the first Ursuline in North America; she lived from 1599 to 1672. Through learning about her life, I learned about her love and devotion for God. Marie lived in France and married and had a son. She was a businesswoman for some time. After, her husband died and Marie left for Canada and started the first Ursuline branch in North America. I learned about Marie’s devotion and confidence to follow through with her dream regardless of what anyone else thought. The Catholic Church recently deemed her a saint on April 2, 2014. From looking back on Marie’s life I can apply what I have learned about her in everyday life. I learned that your own happiness is God’s will
