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!

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen prayer cards

We sent a check to the organization last week and quickly received a nice stack of cards to give to friends and family. The note inside was so nice and I was thankful as I wanted to give them to some people and have them for Easter. I would encourage everyone to order these(they just ask for a free will offering for postage costs).
How You Can Help the Cause has the photos of the cards and also the address to send for them. They also are selling pro-life magnets that are new and look nice. Photo courtesy of http://www.archbishopsheencause.org.

Bishop Fulton Sheen's cause for sainthood

I have so many favorite quotes of Bishop Sheen's so I did some digging and found this website that is the official site on the internet for his cause for sainthood.

Lots of interesting tidbits here and the bio is great if you don't know a lot about his life.
