She, because of the way she lived the rest of her life, with tenacity, devotion, and strong love of Jesus and the Eucharist, is one of my favorite saints.

As she was nearing the end of her life, and the officials kept pestering her for details about the apparitions, she laid in her bed in high pain from her knee, and had a picture of a monstrance pinned where she could see it so she could look on a picture of the one she loved.

She has always been my favorite among the "modern" saints. Her simple faith and acceptance of the Blessed Mother's message is a great inspiration. I cannot help but wonder how most of us would have protested when told that we ourselves would find no comfort in this world.
