Thank you for posting this. Being there yesterday was truly amazing. They estimated that they could have as many as 20,000 people see her at St. John Cantius church in the 24 hours that she was there. And when I left I saw there was a line that stretched well around the block, and that was only the people who arrived after 7:30 PM Mass, for everyone at Mass got to see her first and waited inside.
The thing that is so hard for me to understand is the magnitude of the forgiveness she gave her murderer. Dying from her wounds, she expressed that she wished for him to make it to Heaven. Were the same to happen to me I would probably wish for him to go to the other place.
And to think, she was only eleven!
A pleasant interlude to the Synod shenanigans.....
