Saint Genevieve: The strong and prudent 

Genevieve grew up in Nanterre, France, but became the patron saint of Paris. Today, her strong and loving statue can be seen overlooking the Ile de la Cité in the heart of the city. When the rumor brought the news that Attila was approaching, her firm hope and daring persuaded the panic-stricken population to stay and pray.

Later, when the Roman Empire was dissolving, she saw in Clovis a pagan able to unify Gaul. But she opened the doors of the capital to him only after the Frankish leader had married the Christian Clotilde.

As a result, the Franks were baptized in Reims!

Our Father

Our Father, Who is in heaven, Holy is Your Name; Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
