CHIARA CORBELLA PETRILLO: A WITNESS TO JOY
$ 2.28
Description
Chiara Petrillo was seated in a wheel chair looking lovingly toward Jesus in the tabernacle. Her husband, Enrico asked her a question that he had been holding back. Thinking of Jesus' phrase, ‘my yoke is sweet and my burden is light’, he asked, "Is this yoke, this cross, really sweet, as Jesus said?"
A smile came across Chiara's face. She turned to her husband and said in a weak voice: "Yes, Enrico, it is very sweet."
At 28 years old, Chiara passed away, her body ravaged by cancer. The emotional, physical, and spiritual trials of this young mother are not uncommon. It was her joyful and loving response to each that led a cardinal to call her a saint for our times.
The desire to know Chiara grew very strong as thousands of people came asking about her. This urged to release testimonies, interviews, and material about her. This book is an instrument to tell her story as it really happened.
She said yes to everything that God sent her way, becoming a true child of God. A particular facet of God reflected through her. She was to be a witness to joy in the face of great adversity which makes love overflow despite the sorrow from loss and death. This book is stunning, alarming and at the same time charming.
