Answer 1

CATHERINE of Sweden

Also known as
Catherine Vastanensis; Catherine of Vadstena
Memorial
24 March
Profile
Fourth of the eight children of Saint Bridget of Sweden and Ulf Gudmarsson. Educated at the convent of Riseberg. Married by arrangement at age 13 to the pious German noble Eggart von Kürnen. Soon after their marriage, both she and her husband took vows of chastity and continence. Travelled to Rome in c.1350 to be with her mother. Widowed soon after.

For the next 25 years the two women used Rome as a base for a series of pilgrimages, including one to Jerusalem. When home, they spent their days in prayer and meditation, working with the poor, and teaching them religion. They each had to fend off the unwanted advances of local men, including young lords; during one of these, a wild hind came to Catherine's defense, chasing off the troublesome, would-be suitor.

When Bridget died, Catherine took her body back to Sweden, burying it at the convent of the Order of the Holy Savior (Bridgettines) at Vadstena Catherine became superior of the order, and served as abbess. Wrote a devotional work entitled Sielinna Troëst (Consolation of the Soul), but no copies have survived. Attained papal approval of the Bridgettine Order in 1375. Worked for the canonization of her mother.

Answer 2

St Catherine of Sweden, Catherine Vastanensis or Catherine of Vadstena (circa 1332 Р24 March 1381) is the patron saint of protection against abortion and miscarriage. Her father was Ulf Gudmarsson, Lord of Ulv̴sa, and her mother was the better known Saint Birgitta (in their lifetime known as Birgitta Birgersdotter of Finsta).

At the age of about 13 she married lord Eggert van Kyren, a young half-Swedish, half-Westphalian nobleman, with whom she took a vow of chastity. Catherine accompanied her mother to Rome in 1349, and soon upon arrival heard news of her husband's death. Catherine is said to have written a devotional work entitled "Consolation of the Soul" (in medieval Swedish Siælinna tröst, or Själens tröst in modern Swedish), a dated copy from 1407 is still in existence.

Before her death, Catherine became head of the Bridgittine convent at Vadstena, which was founded by her mother. In 1484, Pope Innocent VIII gave permission for Catherine's veneration as a saint and her feast was assigned to 22 March in the Roman martyrology. St Catherine is generally represented with a hind at her side, which is said to have come to her aid when unchaste youths tried to steal her virginity.
