Feastday: January 13
Patron of brides, large families, and widows
1158 - 1228

Blessed Yvette has not been canonized, but she is considered a saint. Blessed Yvette (Jutta of Huy), Widow (Feast day - January 13) Endowed with extraordinary charisms, Yvette was a product of the development of mysticism in the Low Countries in the thirteenth century. In this she joined a select number of young women Christians such as Juliana of Cornillion, Eve of St. Martin, Isabel of Huy, Mary of Oingnies, Ida of Leau, Ida of Nivelles, Ida of Loviano, Christiana of St.-Trend, Lutgard of Tongres, and Margaret of Ypres.

She was born of a wealthy family of Huy near Liege in 1158 and when very young was married off by her parents. Five years and three children later, she was a widow at the youthful age of eighteen. There was no dearth of suitors, drawn by her uncommom beauty, but Yvette would have none of them. She dedicated herself for eleven years to caring for lepers out of surpassing love for God.

For the last thirty-six years of her life, the holy woman lived as an anchoress and had many mystical experiences. Her prayers and miracles made her famous. She succeeded in bringing her father and one of her two remaining children back to the Faith and solicitously aided the countless people who flocked to consult her in her hermitage. She died on January 13, 1228.

I was looking up my kids names in the list of Saints and thought I would check out my name, not expecting to find one for my first name, Yvonne. It turns out that Yvette and Yvonne, both mean the same thing and are both female diminutive forms of Yves. What I thought was really neat is that Bl. Yvette's Feast day is January 13th and she is the Patron Saint of Large Families. My Birthday is January 12th and, I have 7 children :) Looks like I will be adding Bl. Yvette to my Litany of "go to" Saints!
God Bless!!

St. Yvette, you who are the patron of brides, large families, and widows. Please pray for me that I one day become a bride. I pray that while I wait on my godly husband, I remain pure and peaceful making my Lord #1 in my life. I pray for large families may the joy that only our Savior can give fill their homes. I especially pray for the M.E. family. And lastly I pray for all the widows and elderly. I pray for their comfort and peace during difficult times. Amen.

Loving God in calling your servants to suffer illness in faith, You raised up Blessed Yvette to gently nurse the rejected leper. May we follow her heroic virtue and tend the sick and the poor. This we ask through christ our Lord. Amen

Thank you for the story of Saint Bl. Yvette. I pick that name to read because of a former girlfriend who I miss very much. I'm doing a little research on female Saints. I beliave I've encounder something in that form of a Saint that only could be seen though one of my four sercuity camaras.I have around my mother house. The camaras are in place because of unwanted visitors who steel from the yard. I'm 54 years old I live with my parents I take care of them about 97% I'm unenployed for that reason. My Father is 86 and Mother who is 79 years old. What appears for about 3 hours because of the passing of the sun and a real low mild glare about 8:30 am thur about 10:45 am is clearly a women. I have turn the camara it does matter to muchShe appears on the outside wall of where I sleep. She clothe with a black Nuns veil which covers the hair and forehead she has a long pretty purple and gleaming black glown I can see the light ruffles of the dress. Her body size is normal. She is pretty with no makeup. Her age is looks about 40-45 years old. I sense from my heart peace in her presents and I know I could be wrong. Two days ago my youngest son enter my room and sat next to me while she was present and she slowly turn her head away from him like she knew he was bad boy. We both look at each other and said (did you see that) She turn back right away forward.On a nother camara I clearly see evil to much to explain it frightens me. I need professional and disgret advise.please Comment please for now I will ansewer only a email till I could find someone special I could trust i have pictures and footage
