When Father Danny Pajarillaga met Niña in 1993, he could see her great love for the Eucharist and that she prayed a lot. “She was a walking testimony of piety and religion, she was always dressed in white and with a rosary around her neck,” remember those who knew her, according to Fides.
A girl was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy at the age of 10 and lived the three years of the disease with great faith and joy. “Girl’s life was one of prayer, adoration and an intimate relationship with God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Blessed Virgin Mary,” says Bishop Mayugba.
On August 16, 1993, she suffered cardiac arrest while at school and was immediately taken to the hospital, where she died. She was buried in a public cemetery in Sarrat and her grave is now a pilgrimage site.
