Antonietta Meo


Nennolina
She told her mother: "When I suffer, I immediately think of Jesus so I don't suffer anymore! It's simple not to suffer: don't think of your pain, but think of Jesus', because He suffered so much for us that you won't feel anything yourself".


To her father: "Pain is like fabric, the stronger it is, the more it's worth".
To her mother: "When you feel pain, you have to keep quiet and offer it to Jesus for a sinner. Jesus suffered so much for us, but He hadn't committed any sin: He was God. How could we complain, we who are sinners and always offend Him?".


My daughter and I just read over the entire website and she was fascinated because they are the same age. What a powerful witness to young ones! I can see her being the patron saint of childhood illness. A wonderful little soul!
