Our daughters must be taught that beauty relies not only on physical appearance. That must have come from an inner radiance. Looking at both physical and mental appearance, you can model your daughters more beautifully modeling these woman saints.
1. St. Brigid of Ireland – “When she learned that her beauty was the reason for the attentions of so many young men, she prayed fervently to God to take it from her.”
2. St. Lucy – It is said that St. Lucy was known for her beautiful eyes, but it is her zeal for the Lord that has made her a Saint.
3. St. Joan of Arc – “I am not afraid. I was born to do this.”
4. St. Germaine Cousin – St. Germaine was born with a deformed and paralyzed right hand and was also very weak and often ill. That did not stop her from glorifying God.
5. St. Agnes – “Christ has made my soul beautiful with the jewels of grace and virtue. I belong to Him Whom the Angels serve.”
