I really enjoyed the simple beauty of her story. It reminded me of a favorite passage of mine from the letters of Pope John XXIII.
Above all, I am grateful to the Lord for the temperment he has given me, which preserves me from anxieties and tiresome perplexities. I feel I am under obedience in all things and I have noticed that this disposition, in great things and in small, gives me, unworthy as I am, a strength of daring simplicity, so wholly evangelical in its nature that it demands and obtains universal respect and edifies many. "Lord, I am not worthy. O Lord, be always my strength and the joy of my heart. My God, my mercy."
To live life with a "strength of daring simplicity"... An uncomplicated, noble aspiration.
