Brave Sisters!

Therese von Konnersreuth did not eat and drink for 36 years.

She may be called a saint in the future.

I hope you can find a text in English about her.

St. Pio ate very little, but remained a pretty robust figure of a man.

My mistake. St John Vianney's Feast Day is August 4.

I might not have been listening to the homily very attentively.

Apologies.
