What started with this: http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=4969
Lead me to look up Chiara Badano (1971-90), a laywoman of the Focolare Movement
The word laywoman jumped out at me, as did the dates. So a quick Google search yielded:
http://focolare.org/En/sif/2000/20000323e_b.html . An amazing story which included the purported words of St. Augustine, "love makes us beautiful". Chiara seems to be a woman in the mold of St. Therese, the little flower. Check out her story. Do it. It's a love story, and a love story of the best kind.
A quote from that story, attributed to Abbe Pierre: "Saints are not all listed in a catalogue: in all probability we come across them every day."
That led to a conversation with Rita, which turned up http://ashleyconsumedbygrace.com/index.php.
Who is saintly in your life? Whose love makes you beautiful? Does your love beautify others? Yourself?
Blessings,
Isaac
