πŸ“š St. Alice

From a young age, she showed a deep love for prayer and religious life and entered the Cistercian monastery at La Cambre.

Despite her physical suffering, Alice remained devoted to Christ and united her trials with His Passion. Accounts of her life describe her as a woman of profound faith, humility, and patience. She is especially remembered as an example of holiness amid illness and suffering.
