St. Kateri Tekakwitha
Who will teach me what is most pleasing to God, so that I may do it?
— According to Fr. Cholenec's biography
A Native American girl whose face was scarred and eyesight weakened by smallpox. Her own people persecuted her for being baptised, so she fled to a Christian settlement. She died at 24, and her face is said to have become beautiful after death. God sees the beauty the world overlooks.
