“I am not afraid of death which I have waited for a long time. God will let me live through my death.” St Rafqa Pietra Choboq Ar-Rayès
Born in Himlaya, in the northern Metn on June 29, 1832, her father was Mourad Saber el-Chobok el-Rayess and her mother Rafqa Gemayel. She lost her mother when she was only 7 years old, and in 1843 her father sent her to serve as an aide to Damascus with Assad Badawi, a person from Mount Lebanon.
Faced with these situations, being already very religious, the woman who would become Saint Rafqa decided to start a religious career, first with the Congregation of the Virgin Mary between 1859 and 1871, also called Mariamettes, recently founded by Father Joseph Gemayel, despite her father’s opposition. While she was at Our Lady of the Deliverance of Bikfaya to become a sister, accompanied by two other women, she heard a call to her vocation. Just entered the church, she felt a deep joy and heard the voice of God: “You will become a sister”.
