                                                        PEARLS OF HOLINESS
                                                  Where God’s power emerges

                 «Midori lived a great faith day by day, a visible expression of
            her personal relationship with the Mystery, which made her capable
            of accompanying Takashi on his path of conversion. She lived a
            virginity of the heart capable of living a full attachment to everyone
            yet  with a detachment  inside and a total  gift  of herself,  offering
            everything  she could: her time, what she knew, her goodness, her
            continuous prayer, her whole life. And her death. Even the hope that
            Takashi, a widower, brought to the entire city and the whole world
            was the mature fruit and legacy of the communion lived among them
                                              4
            in obedience to the Father’s plan» .

                 «A Saint is a truly accomplished man and we must recognize
            that, in a terrible historical circumstance, Takashi fulfilled  his
            vocation well as a father, showing his children the not so easy path
            that awaited them as orphans, and as a doctor. He did this through
            the Cross and a continuous work on himself, in a profound poverty
                                                      5
            of spirit that led him to give himself totally» .
