Saint Rafqa (Rafka) of Lebanon (1832–1914) was a humble Maronite nun whose life of suffering became a masterpiece of divine grace. When she prayed to share in Christ’s passion, she was struck with intense pain that left her blind and paralyzed — yet she never complained, instead giving thanks for every moment of suffering as an offering of love. Her serenity, compassion, and radiant faith drew all who met her closer to God.
Canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2001, Saint Rafqa is venerated by the Maronite Catholic, Eastern Catholic, and Roman Catholic Churches as a living witness to redemptive suffering and divine compassion. Her intercession has brought many healings and conversions throughout Lebanon and the world.
