More on Kateri Tekawitha and the miraculous healing that led to her canonization.

I had  posted this Saint Kateri Tekawitha – feast tomorrow – the miracle that led to her canonization  yesterday. My friend Nancy sent me the article below, from one year ago.

Jake Finkbonner was a critically ill 5-year-old when a relic of then-Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha was placed on the pillow of his Seattle hospital bed and his family prayed for her intercession. Close to death from a case of flesh-eating bacteria, Finkbonner immediately began to recover. The Most Rev. Joseph Tyson, bishop of the Yakima Diocese since May 2011, was then auxiliary bishop in Seattle and led the local process to verify that the recovery could not be explained by medical science.

The picture shows sister Kateri, the woman who placed the relic on Jake in 2006, and Jake with her in 2018. He is now in college. See the link above from yesterday to see Jake when he was attacked by a flesh eating bacteria.
