When and why did she become a nun?

Answer 1

I believe you are referring to Ste ( female) Madeleine Sophie Barat. The last name sounds vaguely Arabic but is French. She clearly felt the call to the religious life. Obviously she was a good Religious as she has been canonized a Saint. She is discussed in some detail in Cruz" The Incorruptibles- Good reading and a healthy antidote to the occult Blitz in Hollywood, etc- there are strange things that happen under the Grace of God! Beat the Devil with solid spiritual stuff!

Answer 2

Actually Mother Mary Mackillop became a teaching sister, not a nun, although sisters are commonly (if incorrectly) referred to as nuns. She had been drawn to a life of poverty and service to the poor; she became a sister in order to follow God's call for her.

Answer 3

She became a nun in 1931 after experiencing a series of spiritual revelations and a deep sense of calling towards religious life. She was motivated by a strong desire to live a life of prayer, simplicity, and service to others.

Answer 4

There is more than one St. Madeleine. You will need to be more specific.

Answer 5

she never gave up
