She had inherited from her father a warrior's temperament, which prepared her for the hard battles in her later life, as well as nobility and generosity. Her heart, sensitive and compassionate, was guided by her mother towards works of charity towards the sick and needy, and she alternated between acts of charity and the daily life imposed on her by her social class. She was also very fond of spending time before the Blessed Sacrament, and it was her love for Jesus in the Eucharist which later become the soul of her work.

“You that do search for every purling spring
Which from the ribs of old Parnassus flows,
And every flower, not sweet perhaps, which grows
Near thereabouts into your poesy wring;
You that do dictionary’s method bring
Into your rhymes, running in rattling rows;”
