The final chapter of the book focuses on the saintly candidates’ devotees and their various encounters with the infirm saint, as well as the attempts and prospects for healing holy infirmity. It also analyses the cultural significances of holy suffering. While the devotees gave varying meanings to saints’ infirmities, they did not directly overlap with the documents we have of their own suffering. Saints valued and cherished their own infirmities, but they also helped, even medically, those of their devotees who were ill or suffering. At the same time, it is likely that the culturally internalized narratives of the benefits of infirmity and the valorization of suffering had a therapeutic function in the same way as miracle narratives.

Saintly patience towards earthly tribulations is one of the key characteristics of saints’ lives, and it was frequently investigated in canonization inquests. The tribulations could include, for example, deaths of loved ones or troubles with earthly rulers. In most canonization inquests the topic of bodily infirmity, especially the saintly candidate’s patient attitude towards it, was also investigated. However, the way such patience comes up in the process varies greatly: it could be used and investigated to highlight aspects of a saint’s life that the witnesses and the conductors of the hearing considered important, such as preaching, spiritual raptures, or earthly duties. Here the saint’s gender and status in society and the geographic origins of their cult all played major roles.
