Charitable and Merciful

These women are known greatly for their godly love, manifested in charitable works of feeding the poor, clothing the naked, serving the sick, and much more.
Most Saints fit into this category, however: this page is for Saints that specifically sought to do these works out of love for Christ and might be more widely known for these charitable acts and mercy. (See also Physicians, Nurses and Healers)
