Who Am I?

I was born in Corbie, France. At age 21 I began to follow the Third Order Rule and became an anchoress, a woman walled into a room whose only opening was a window into a church. I left my cell in 1406 in response to a dream directing me to reform the Poor Clare's. I founded seventeen convents. I was renowned for my sanctity, ecstasies, and visions of the Passion, and prophesied my own death in my convent at Ghent Belgium.

Good Luck!
Love All Ya All,
Barb

Come on James or Debz bet you know the answer all I could think of was St Catherine but I don't think that is right...QMG

the obvious would be St Clare...but i don't think this is correct. The daughter of The White star line shipping tycoon gave all the family fortunes to the poor clares her name was Amy Elizabeth Imrie and the church she had built in Liverpool's Little Italy was St Mary of the Angels who's patron saint is St Collette...could this be the answer?
