Saint Colette, born Nicolette Boilet, was known for her profound spiritual life and her efforts in reforming the Poor Clare convents back to their original strict observance. After losing her parents at a young age, she joined the Third Order of St. Francis and later founded the Colettine Poor Clares, a reformed branch of the Poor Clares. Her life was marked by numerous visions, including one from St. Francis of Assisi, guiding her reforms. She established seventeen convents during her lifetime, emphasizing prayer, poverty, and penance. She was canonized for her exemplary life and the miracles attributed to her.
