Valeria (3rd century)

Secular

Practical advice

In the midst of your ordinary work, patiently correct a job that did not turn out well, putting the result in God's hands.

Biography

She was a young woman whom Saint Martial converted and baptized and whose fiancé he had led to death because she had become a Christian and did not want to marry him. After many centuries, his relics rest next to those of Saint Martial, in the church of Limoges, France. Since that time, Saint Valeria has performed many miracles and her cult spread throughout southwestern France.
