Saint Colette was born in Corbie in France in the year 1381. After the death of her parents she distributed her wealth to the poor and taking the habit of the Third Order lived for some time as a recluse. She later entered the Poor Clares and with papal approval was responsible for the renewal of many of the communities of the First and Second Orders through her insistence on prayer and poverty. She died on 6 March 1447 and was canonized in 1807.
