Widower
pursues sainthood for wife: --
Some
experts say that Mrs. Coniker appears to be the kind of new saint
that the
Vatican
is looking for: She lived and died in a happy marriage. The claim
for heroic virtue is based partly on her refusal to abort her 11th
child after a doctor warned that the birth would kill her. With her
husband, she gave up affluence to found a ministry to families.

body, his spirit is indomitable and his message youthful and strong.

the baptized it is essential to pass from a faith of custom to a
mature faith, which is expressed in clear, convinced, and valiant
personal options”. - Click for More
