**Update: Apparently both of my links are no longer working! I'm still looking for new ones...but, in the mean time this has some good info about Blessed Chiara here.
And also here.
Ever since reading about her, I can't get her out of my mind. Maybe it is because I've known young people face battles like this and with grace like this. Or maybe, I'm meant to know her for some reason. I certainly feel like hers is a friendship I'd like to cultivate. There isn't much I can say because her life really speaks for itself. She calls us to so much humility and obedience and love. I know I have so much to learn from her. Read her story (click her picture for one site and the link for another). I think you will be blessed, too.

OM GOSH!!!! I was just thinking about her the other day, trying to recall her name Blessed Chiara, really being captivated by her story and called to pray to her or something, wasn't sure what. So thankful for your post! I was so excited to see her here I jumped straight to the comments...ok, b r e a t h e...I'll go and read now :)
