Flower of Lebanon

Through her walk with our Lord Jesus Christ and the years
of serving, she devoted her mind, body and soul to share
in the passion of Christ.

From a voice came a calling, from a calling came a passion,
from a passion came dedication, and from dedication came
sainthood.

Rafqa is the Arabic name for Rebecca.

“Sickness accepted with patience and thanksgiving
purifies the soul as the fire purifies gold.”

Saint Rafqa

Prayer

O Saint Rafqa, true disciple of Jesus Christ and partner
of the Redeemer in the Mystery of Redemption, you
rushed to serve the Lord and offered yourself to
Him as a complete and pure sacrifice.

I ask you Saint Rafqa, to obtain from Jesus Christ the
grace of blessing my country, my family and myself;
to help me to contribute in the fulfilment of His
kingdom. Amen.
