A simple guy. Strive to follow Christ, and fall on my face more often than not. The helmet comes in handy . . .

One of the wildest, most astonishing saints in Church history—carefully recorded by reliable eyewitnesses and by the Dominican chronicler Thomas of Cantimpré.
Born in 1150 in Belgium, Christina was orphaned young and worked as a humble shepherdess. In her early 20s, she suffered a massive seizure and was pronounced dead.
During her funeral Mass, as the priest reached the Agnus Dei… she suddenly sat up, levitated straight to the roof beams of the church, and perched there like a bird! The entire congregation fled in terror (except her sister and the priest).
When she came down, she explained what happened:
She had died, visited Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. God gave her a choice—stay in Heaven or return to earth to suffer for the souls in Purgatory. She chose to return.
From that moment on, her life became legendary:
🔸 She threw herself into burning ovens and emerged unharmed
🔸 Dove into freezing rivers in winter
🔸 Climbed trees, towers, and rocks to escape the “smell of sin” from people
🔸 Lived in extreme poverty, sleeping on rocks, eating almost nothing
🔸 Balanced on fence posts for hours while praying
🔸 Survived being crushed on mill wheels and other tortures… completely unscathed
Yet she lived to age 74 and died peacefully in 1224.
Her extreme penances and miracles converted many, and she is venerated as a patron of millers, people with mental illness, and mental health workers.
St. Christina the Astonishing reminds us that God’s ways are far beyond our understanding — and that some souls are called to radical, jaw-dropping love.
🙏 St. Christina the Astonishing, pray for us!

@mnchies That is why I never leave the house without the helmet. So many vampires.
