Episode Synopsis

7/23/25 - At just six years old, Venerable Antonietta Meo wrote profound letters to Jesus while enduring bone cancer, offering her pain for others with childlike simplicity and deep spiritual insight. Decades later, Blessed Chiara Badano, a vibrant Italian teenager, faced terminal cancer with radiant joy, refusing morphine so she could "offer her suffering to Jesus." This episode delves into the lives of these extraordinary young girls – one from 1930s Rome, the other from 1980s Italy – whose heroic virtue and unwavering love for Christ continue to move hearts and draw souls closer to God. Witness how childlike faith can become a profound theological witness!
