The Voice of Saint Clelia Barbieri
Born in Italy in 1874, Clelia Barbieri helped found a church called Sisters Minims of Our Lady of Sorrows and was quite influential at the young age of 23. Sadly, she passed away from leukemia. However, before she died, she said to her followers, “Be brave because I am going to paradise; but I shall always remain with you, too; I shall never abandon you!” A year after her death while the sisters were singing, a high-pitched voice filled the church, swooping around them and singing in harmony with them. Her voice continued to follow them in their prayers and to this day is said to be heard at that church.
