The "Lily of the Mohawks," the first Native American saint was canonized two years ago, after a long gap since her death in 1680. Notable about her life was her desire for baptism, her love of the Eucharist, and her service to the ill. She suffered persecution for her faith and had to leave her native village in order to practice her faith. She was baptized at the age of 23 and died the year after. She lived out the works of St. Paul. "Whatever gains I had , these I have come to consider a loss because of Christ." (Phil 3:7-10). May she help us to find our fullness in Jesus.
