The Life of St. Kateri Tekakwitha
Kateri was born to a Mohawk father and an Algonquin Christian mother. She lost her family to smallpox as a child, and the illness left her with weak eyes and scars, but her gentle spirit drew people to her.
She was baptized on Easter Sunday 1676 at age twenty and moved to the Christian community at Kahnawake, where she spent her days in prayer and service. She died at twenty-four, and her face was said to have become radiant.
