When I was 14, I went on a trip to Auriesville. The young lady guide took us to the site in the woods where Kateri lived. When we got there the open space in the woods was very bright, I thought, from the sunlight coming thru the trees. When I looked up, the tree canopy covered everything so we should have been in the shade but the ground was very bright as if sunlight was shining on it. I said “Wow!”
She`s my favorite saint.
Great story!
Both my wife and our daughter were named after Kateri (Kathy & Kathryn), her family being from NE New York state near Quebec.
We’ve been to Auriesville many times... ;)
