I searched today for a more detailed report of Chiara's life; that is what I have posted here. For those wondering about the miracle ...
A young boy in Italy was dying from meningitis. His organs were shutting down. There was no way to save his life. His parents learned of Chiara’s story and sought her intercession. He was fully healed. A panel of doctors has ruled that there was no medical explanation for this turn of events.
