Rebecca, also known as Rafqa, became a nun at age 21 to avoid the pressure from her family of marriage. After joining the Marian Order of the Immaculate Conception, the institute decided to merge with another order, allowing its followers the decision to leave. She decided to follow her dreams and joined the Order of Saint Anthony of the Maronites. On the feast of the Holy Rosary, Rafqa prayed to share in Jesus's suffering, becoming blind and receiving headaches, eventually becoming paralyzed. The remainder of her life was spent knitting, spinning wool, and in prayer.
