🌍 Today we honor St. Leoba (abbess + missionary in Germany) + St. Marina of Omura (Japanese martyr). One built communities, the other defied empire. Both prove women’s faith crosses borders + resists oppression. #FemaleSaintsFest #StLeoba #StMarina #FaithfulResistance

Marina the Monk (June 17):
She wanted to be a monk, so she became one.
Disguised as a man.
Wrongly accused.
Kicked out.
Still holy.
Still humble.
Still faithful.
God knew who she was—even when no one else did. 🔥
