Let me remind you who St. <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">Genevieve was. She was the Patron Saint of <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">Paris. She was born around 422 AD in France, <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">Europe, and died around 500 AD. She was a <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">courageous peasant girl who was consecrated <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">to God as a Virgin at a young age. She dedicated <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">her life to prayer, devotion to God and acts of <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">penance. She performed acts of charity, prayed <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">for the sick and prophesied. Genevieve was <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">appointed by the Bishop to look after the welfare <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">of the consecrated virgins. She did so faithfully <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">and helped to lead them into a greater degree of <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">holiness as they grew closer to the Lord Jesus.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"textLayer\"><span dir=\"ltr\">The city of Paris experienced proof of <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">Genevieve\u2019s intercession on many occasions. <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">The most famous occurrence was the miracle of <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">Des Ardens, or the burning fever. In 1129, a <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">violent fever swept through the city, and doctors <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">couldn\u2019t stop the people from dying. The shrine <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">of Genevieve was carried in a procession to the <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">cathedral, and during the ceremony, those who <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">touched her shrine were healed by the power of <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">the Lord. Throughout the whole town, no one <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">else became sick, all the ill recovered and only <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">three people died. In our church her statue with <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">the relic is located in front of the baptismal <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\">fount. <\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"textLayer\"><span dir=\"ltr\">Pray for Us, St. Genevieve!<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"endOfContent\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" role=\"region\" data-page-number=\"4\" aria-label=\"Page 4\" data-page-label=\"4-CBL\" data-loaded=\"true\">\n<div class=\"canvasWrapper\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"textLayer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a parish dedicated to St. Genevieve we should remember that her feast day is on January 3rd.
