Family, we have a very special saint to share with you today, St. Germaine de Pibrac. Hers is one of the saddest accounts we have researched, yet this humble girl became deeply loved in her region and throughout France. Without the hand of God, her story might only take a few paragraphs. She was born with a crippled and paralyzed right arm and suffered from scrofula, a form of tuberculosis affecting the neck. In her case, it left her neck and cheeks malformed and caused recurring swelling and open sores.

No one knows with certainty who her parents were. Laurent Cousin may have been her father, though this was never confirmed. She may also have been left at a doorstep as an infant because of her deformities, or she may have been the child of Laurent's first wife, who died of the plague when Germaine was still very young. Compared to broad overviews of the saints, this minibook gives focused attention to her life and witness, making it especially helpful for those seeking a confirmation saint, a patron for the rejected, or a short Catholic devotional read.

We bring you the life of Saint Germaine in this minibook. Saint Germaine de Pibrac from Bob and Penny Lord on Vimeo. bobandpennylord · Preview Saint Germaine de Pibrac Audio
