St. Guy of Anderlecht
St. Guy of Anderlecht is counted as an intercessor for persons with epilepsy and also for hydrophobia (the fear of water) and rabies. He was a simple, poor farmer who became a sacristan (caretaker of the room where ecclesiastical vestments and sacred vessels are kept). He made an investment, but the cargo went down with the ship in the harbor; he blamed himself for being greedy, repented, and went on a pilgrimage to Rome, and later to Jerusalem, where he eventually served as a guide to other pilgrims. While returning home, he died. Sources:
