Anna Schäffer
Saint Anna Schäffer (February 18, 1882 – October 5, 1925) was a German woman who lived in Mindelstetten in Bavaria. She was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on October 21, 2012.
==Childhood==
Schäffer's father, a carpenter, died at the age of 40, leaving his family in great poverty. Anna dropped out of school and worked as a maid from the age of fourteen, hoping eventually to be able to enter a religious order.〔"(Eine Frau des Leidens auf einer Stufe mit Petrus )". ''Donaukurier'', October 21, 2012.〕 But with family obligations she could barely make ends meet. In 1898, she had a vision from Christ that she was destined to endure long and painful suffering.〔〔"(Kościół ma siedmioro nowych świętych )" ''Deon.pl'', October 21, 2012〕
On February 4, 1901, while working at a laundry, Schäffer slipped and fell while reattaching a stovepipe and boiled her legs in the washing machine.〔 She was taken to hospital, but nothing could be done about the painful burns. More than thirty surgical operations followed, and the wounds had to be carefully dressed, which also caused much pain. Despite the constant care of her doctor, Dr. Waldin, skin grafts did not succeed and Schäffer became completely immobile. She was therefore forced to abandon her longtime dream of entering a religious order.〔Georg Franz X. Schwager. ''Anna Schäffer – Thoughts and Memories of my Life of Illness – and My Longing for the Eternal Homeland''. Regensburg: Schnell und Steiner, 2012. ISBN 3795426243〕 Her mother was to care for her until the end of her life.
