Elizabeth Leseur

She is up for canonization.  What fascinates me about her is that she was so normal.  She was not a nun, did not found any great organization or do any great work.  Her gift was her diary, discovered after she died of cancer.  She wrote about her everyday feelings and  events.  She wrote about her faith as it could be applied to daily happenings.  She suffered physically.  Her husband was a sceptic about religion.  He gave her no spiritual support in her Catholic practices.  There is so much about her with which most of us can identify.  We cannot write her off as so different from us that we could not become a saint too.  So what holds you back from the path to holiness, much less sainthood?
