Saint Julia Billiart
Saint Julia (Julie) Billiart was born in 1751 in Cuvilly France. After she sadly died in 1816 at the age of 64 she was made the patron saint against poverty, bodily ills, and disease. In her childhood, she was very religious, at age seven, she already knew the catechism by heart, and used to gather up her peers and tell it to them. Julie’s progress in spiritual things was so rapid that the parish priest, Father Dangicourt, allowed her to both make her first communion and her confirmation at age nine. Five years later she took a vow of chastity, which is a promise to never have sex.
Saint Julie had reverence in which she was held in a very high esteem. When she was twenty-two a pistol-shot fired at her father by an unknown enemy, and a nervous shock ran through her body and in a result, it brought on a paralysis of the lower limbs. She would not let this stop her, she received the holy communion every day. Julie used the rest of her time making linens and laces for the altar and teaching the village children when they gathered around her bed, giving special attention to those who were preparing for their First Communion. This shows us Julie Billiarts finding of all sacred things.

In the absence of Father Varin from that city, a man of superior intelligence, attempted to change the rule. So far he influenced the Bishop, Msgr. Demandolx, that Mother Julie had no alternative but to leave the Diocese of Amiens. In leaving Amiens, Mother Julie said to all her subjects, they were perfectly free to remain or to follow her. All but two chose to go with her, and so Msgr. Demandolx requested Mother Julie to return to Amiens and rebuild her institute. This shows that Julie truly loved others as Jesus asks because she forgave Msgr. Demandolx and came back when he pleaded her
