Audrey Santo and the meaning of a human life

Perhaps like me you've been vaguely aware of the story of Little Audrey Santo. Tonight I was reminded of her again, and learned that she passed away last year at the age of 23. She is now being considered for beatification and canonization.

From her funeral homily: The primeval question Audrey embodies for all humanity to see, to ponder, to confront and to resolve—regardless of creed or culture, regardless of race or religion, regardless of class or nationality—is “Who counts?” Read the rest of this profoundly challenging message here.

Thank you for this inspiration. I thought of you today as I put a link the Acton Institute on the blog post I just wrote...I am sad this morning about so many problems in our country.
