A New Saint for the Church!

Go find Jesus when you are at the end of your patience and strength, when you feel alone and helpless; He is waiting for you in the chapel. Tell Him, "You know well what is happening, my good Jesus, I have nothing but You, who know everything. Come to my assistance.'' And then go, and do not worry about how you will make it through; it is enough that you have told God about it; He has a good memory.

~St. Jeanne Jugan, foundress of the Little Sisters of the Poor

In St. Peter's Basicala yesterday morning, October 11, Pope Benedict XVI canonized Jeanne Jugan along with Damien de Veuster, Rafael Arnáiz Barón, Zygmunt Szczesny Felinski, and Francesc Coll y Guitart.
