Her story, as told by Miss Buehrle, proves that God works best through natural means, and thus makes even the highest sanctity comprehensible to ordinary people. Great numbers of Kateri’s people were led to embrace the tru Faith by th example of this young girl’s heroic virtue, and even after her death, among many marvels attributed to her intercession, the greatest was the fervor created among others of her race. For almost three centuries, her home at Caughna-waga, near Montreal, Quebec, has been a place of pilgrimage.The realization that our own continent has been hallowed by the lives of such saintly natives brings holiness a little closer home, a little more possible of our imitation. The knowledge that people of every race and condition can and do achieve sanctity brings into brighter focus the catholicity of the Mystical Body of Christ, His Church.MDlA viclt; wei on-iarr S C01 of : ancDgetdajthe“LiRADIO REPLIES PAMPHLETSKATERI OF THE MOHAWKSby Marie Cecilia Buehrle, (Bruce), $3.00.(Reviewed by Wenonah Chambers)Kateri Tekakwitha’s cause for beautification and canonization was introduced in 1926.
