Saint Germaine Cousin1579-1601 Born into an abusive family, Saint Germaine Cousin endured years of physical abuse, torments, and neglect by her parents and siblings. Despite the many illnesses she contracted due to years of maltreatment, Saint Germaine remained a charitable and gentle girl. As her illnesses worsened, her parents banished her to live in the barn with the sheep in fear she would infect the family. Becoming a shepherd, she attended Mass daily, miraculously never losing any sheep. Living a life of humility and charity, she died at the young age of twenty-two. Saint Germain Cousin, Pray for us!
