Saint Obligación
Patron of Obsessive Compulsions.

Saint Obligación had an epiphany after taking the following sentence out of context:

The "beyond" includes nearly any obsessive compulsion, a thing or a behavior carried to excess.

This sentence wasn't from the Bible but rather a self-help book entitled Love is a Choice: Breaking the Cycle of Addictive Relationships.   After her epiphany, she traded her habit for a more rigid compulsion, then went on to found The Holy (Dis)Order of the Sisters of Perpetual Handwringing.
