The Life of a Saint in our time - Bl Dina Belanger Dina Bélanger was born in Sillery, Québec, Canada on April 30, 1897. There are those who believe that there was a connection between the little Saint and the Little Flower of Lisieux, St. Thérèse, because Dina was born exactly five months before St. Thérèse died. Also, during Dina’s time in the convent, she was given the Little Flower as a protectress by Our Lord Jesus. There are also many other similarities between the two Saints, which we will see as we go on with the life of Dina. The church where she was baptized was not the church where the well-to-do people of the town worshiped. To the contrary, St. Roch’s was in the working man’s section. She was born at ten before nine in the morning and baptized in the afternoon of the same day. She was named Marie (after our Lady), Dina (after her father’s mother), Marguerite (after St. Margaret Mary Alacoque). Dina wrote of that time in her life, as she was given to see it in her heart: "It seems to me that, in the earliest moments of my life, God wrapped the protective cloak of the Blessed Virgin around me; my eyes first saw light on the eve of the month of Mary, a Friday, and that very evening the grace of Holy Baptism drove the devil out of my soul to let the Divine Spirit reign as its master." Her father, Octave
Bélanger, and mother, Séraphia Matte,
were very spiritual people. They gave
this child of God the solid Christian
formation that she needed to open
herself to the working of God in her
life. Everything centered around their
Faith, their morals, and their Christian
behavior. Dina’s mother Séraphia talked
about her dreams for her child even
before she was born:
