Juana Josefa Cipitria y Barriola or "Little Juanita" that's the name that her family calls her. Her family was a relgious family. She was even baptized on the day she was born! As a child, she was really devoted to the Virgin Mary. She learned to pray the rosary when she was only 5 years old, she was thought by her grandmother to pray it. She recieved Jesus for the first time when she was only 7 years old. She offered flowers for Mother Mary by herself without any command by her parents. She conveyed many characteristics and values that a child at her age doesn't have. She was prayerful, faithful to Jesus, kind, humble and generous. There was a time when her grandmother made her favorite omelet sandwich but she tought to sacrifice and give it to the poor. She waited for a poor person to pass by but no one passed by because of this she took a little bite because she was really hungry. Finally, a poor person passed by and she gave the sandwich to him. Can you do that in a very young age?
