Today, July 14th is the first Feast Day that St Kateri has had since she was canonized last October. She is one of my four patron saints and the one I was drawn to when I was young. Her story of sacrifice, prayer, and devotion to the Eucharist in the midst of persecution is especially important in this increasingly hostile world. St Kateri is not known for anything she said, but her life of silent witness. I personally think the only reason that Kateri was not canonized until recently that it was because she did not want the honor and would prefer all to bypass her. I think God finally convinced her that her witness and acknowledgment as a Saint would be helpful in bringing more people to Christ. Have a blessed Sunday,
Nina
