St. Kateri Tekakwitha, ora pro nobis!

St. Kateri Tekakwitha, ora pro nobis!
“Her beatification should remind us that we are all called to a life of holiness, for in Baptism, God has chosen each one of us ‘to be holy and spotless and to live through love in his presence’ (Eph. 1:4). Holiness of life – union with Christ through prayer and works of charity – is not something reserved to a select few among the members of the Church. It is the vocation of everyone.”
- St. John Paul II, on the Occasion of Kateri Tekakwitha’s Beatification in 1980

This would be her first feast day as a saint (well if it were not a Sunday).

The Shrine had veneration of her relic today after Mass.

This one I kind of laughed since I wasn't sure what was going on. Add your own caption below.

Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha to become first Native American saint
 |
| St. Kateri statue, Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, La Crosse WI |
The Holy Father, yesterday signed decrees acknowledging miracles attributed to the intervention of seven blesseds (three men and four women) who will shortly be canonised. One of the new saints is Kateri Tekakwitha, the first native North American to be raised to the glory of the altars. -Vatican Information Servicecontinue at AirMaria
Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha lived in a society where publicly and literally people ate other men, offered sacrifices to demons, and every human act was done in view of others, I mean EVERYTHING. In the mist of all this she remained a pure virgin, even before she was a Christian, but after baptism in the True Faith under the One True God, she rocketed into great holiness. – A Friar With Great Devotion to her
Daughter of a Christian Algonquin woman captured by Iroquois and married to a non-Christian Mohawk chief. Orphaned during a smallpox epidemic, which left her with a scarred face and impaired eyesight. Converted and baptized in 1676 by Father Jacques de Lamberville, a Jesuit missionary. Shunned and abused by relatives for her faith. Escaped through 200 miles of wilderness to the Christian Native American village of Sault-Sainte-Marie.
Bl. Kateri Tekakwitha, ora pro nobis!
Born 9 years after the death of Isaac Jogues in the same area of his martyrdom, Kateri Tekakwitha is the first person born in North America to be beatified (she hasn't yet been canonized as a saint). She was the daughter of a Mohawk warrior and a Christian Algonquin woman. Moved by French missionaries, she converted to Christianity and lived a life of austerity and often practiced extremely severe fasting as penance for the conversion of her nation.Flickr: *Jeff*
