'lily of the Mohawks'
[1656-1680]
'although I did not know God
through the holy sacrament of baptism
our Lord watched over me attentively
as His own, blessed me...
with a great detachment of people
and the things of the world'
'I never had a desire
to do as the other girls did
I did not wear ornaments
braid my hair into a single braid
to indicate that I was not married
pierce my ears, or paint my face
I prefered to be alone
and to remain unwordly'
