In the 9+ years of having MS every so often I hear stories of how people where told that their MS was caused be lack of faith or most recently because not spiritually grounded.
This time I had the ideal to Google famous religious people with MS, for my reply.
Much to my surprise I discovered a Dutch Saint that had MS, Lidwina of Schiedam.
She is the patron saint of ice skaters and the chronically ill.
But after reading that high lights of her story not only do I believe Saint Lidwina of Schiedam is the patron saint of MSers, I feel it is an inspiring MSer and one that we can relate to even though it happen 600 years ago. (Falls, pain, etc and even troubles getting health care I hate to think what health care was like back then )
I think hers’ and her families story would make a great TV series.
Anyway I recommend taking a little time and Googling her story, and if any one happens to come across a Lidwina prayer please post it, I have not found one yet.
