Victoire Rasoamanarivo (1848 – 21 August 1894) was a Catholic woman from Madagascar who devoted her life to the poor and the sick.
Her friends continually urged her to divorce him but she refused to do so and stated that marriage was a sacred sacrament that could never be broken.
The political situation in the nation altered dramatically in 1883, and Catholic gatherings were outlawed as were churches and other institutions.
After this, she spent the rest of her years caring for the poor, sick and imprisoned and devoted herself wholly to prayer.
Pope John Paul II declared her to have lived a life of heroic virtue and proclaimed her to be Venerable.
