Rachel

Saint Rachel is venerated as a matriarch in the Old Testament and is honored as a saint in the Catholic tradition. She was the beloved wife of Jacob and the mother of Joseph and Benjamin. Rachel endured much suffering, including years of infertility, before giving birth to her sons. She is often invoked by those seeking comfort, especially in the sorrow of childlessness or loss. Rachel’s faith and perseverance have made her an inspirational figure in both Jewish and Christian traditions.
