Nennolina - A Saint at the age of 6?

She is Antonietta Meo. She was born in Rome in 1930. On Monday Pope Benedict XVI signed papers confirming her “heroic virtues.” She has a nickname 'Nennolina'. She was diagnosed with bone cancer at the age of five, thus the doctors amputated one of her legs. In her difficulties she wrote many prayers. Those prayers are according to the vatican sources, 'a truly extraordinary life of mystical union' with God.

This is one of her prayers: “Dear baby Jesus, you are holy, you are good. Help me, grant me your grace and give me back my leg. If you don't want to, then may your will be done.”

Meo died on July 3, 1937.

If canonised, she would be the youngest saint who did not die as a martyr.
