Collection: 📚 Blessed Laura Vicuna

Blessed Laura Vicuña was a young Chilean lay girl known for her heroic purity, deep love for Christ, and willingness to offer her life for the conversion of her mother. Raised in difficult circumstances, she found refuge and spiritual formation with the Salesian Sisters in Argentina, where she developed a strong devotion to the Eucharist and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Enduring illness and suffering with remarkable faith, Laura consciously offered her life to God so that her mother might return to a sacramental Christian life. Her sacrifice was accepted, and her mother was reconciled to God before Laura’s death.
