Bl. Chiara Badano

Badano was a popular girl in her class with lots of friends. She frequently played sports, sang, danced and stayed out late with friends. She was paralyzed at 17 and offered everything to God, saying, “For you, Jesus, if you want it, I want it too!” She died of cancer at 18 with the words, “Goodbye. Be happy because I’m happy.”
