She was born two years before the protestant reformation began.

What we can learn from what occurred during the reformation of the church is that God will always bring us back to him even if we turn away for a little. We need to be strong in our faith like all these saints we learned about a evangelize to people who aren't as strong in their faith. We can continue to grow by building new churches and emphasizing about going to church every single Sunday. We can marry the church by becoming priests or missionaries. We can always show God's mercy by giving to the poor and helping build God's kingdom.
