She's been nominated for sainthood, IIRC.

Nominated just for doing the right thing? That's a pretty low standard for nomination.

"Nominated just for doing the right thing? That's a pretty low standard for nomination."

Even martyr who is burnt at the stake rather than renounce the Faith, is canonized "just" for "doing the right thing."

She lived a life a exemplary virtue, and she laid down her life for her child. If that's not "blessed," I don't know what is.

Maybe for mothers, as for Marines, "Uncommon valor is the common virtue."
