Bl. Chiara Oct 29

Friday, October 29, 2021

Today is my favorite feast day, the Feast of Blessed Chiara Luce Badano!

I love Bl. Chiara!

I love her heart and soul!

I love her love for life and young people!

I admire her generosity!

She recalls the need to "give", going against the current of the world which is usually focused only on "having." 15 days of Prayer with Blessed Chiara

Though she suffered, she turned her suffering into light.

"Going against the current can also be an act of love, a gift of yourself." 15 days of Prayer with Blessed Chiara

Bl. Chiara died at an early age in her teenage years from cancer on the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, October 7th, 1990.

Blessed Chiara has taught me to give my heart fully to God.

"For you, Jesus...if you want it, I want it too." Blessed Chiara Luce Badano

Let us pray

O Father, source of every good, we give You thanks for the wonderful testimony of Blessed Chiara Badano. Filled with the Holy Spirit and guided by the radiant light of Jesus, she believed firmly in Your infinite love, and wished to return it with all her strength, surrendering herself in complete trust to Your paternal will. We humbly beseech You that You may also grant us the gift to live with You and for You, and ask You, if it be Your will, for the grace of.... through Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
