0:00.0	You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast, really can transform us into the best versions of ourselves
0:42.1	so that we too can become saints one day.
0:46.7	We've already looked at St. Francis, St. Edithstein, St. Joseph of Cupertino,
0:52.9	and today we are going to look at a young woman well on her way to
0:56.9	becoming a saint. She is Italian and very modern. In fact, she lived in the 1980s. And her name is
1:05.2	Blessed Kiara Bandano. Blessed Kiara Bandano was kind of a miracle baby. Her parents got married, but for years,

2:50.3	Keara cried. She loved her hair. But then she gathered it
