Saint Kateri Tekakwitha 1656-1680

http://waldronsaints.com/saint-kateri-tekakwitha-1656-1680.html
 
“I am not my own; I have given myself to Jesus. He must be my only love. The
  state of helpless poverty that may befall me if I do not marry does not
frighten  me. All I need is a little food and a few pieces of clothing. With the
work of  my hands I shall always earn what is necessary and what is left over
I’ll give  to my relatives and to the poor. If I should become sick and unable
to work,  then I shall be like the Lord on the cross. He will have mercy on me
and help  me, I am sure.”
