The Jan. 6 issue of the Religious Bulletin revealed that the cause for this was a vow she made in her early life never to re-visit her home hoping it would please God to grant her brothers and sisters whom she left behind the favor of dying in the state of grace. In recent years one of her greatest concerns was the fear of becoming blind. She repeatedly told the sisters of the order of this fear, saying that she prayed daily that God would grant her the grace of her sight until her death so she could continue to work for him. Even to her last days on earth, she painted stoles and burses and presented them to differ­ ent priests for use on the altar.
