St. Margaret of Cortona.

Giovanni Lanfranco, Ecstasy of St Margaret of Cortona circa 1622.

Her patronage is against temptations; falsely accused people; hoboes; homeless people; insanity; loss of parents; mental illness; mentally ill people; midwives; penitent women; single mothers; people ridiculed for their piety; reformed prostitutes; sexual temptation; single laywomen; third children; and tramps.

She’s just so perfect for me… with the exception of one or two that don’t apply.
