So is this implying that Marie will probably become a saint later on? What are the 3 miracles Marie has performed??

Jess, no, absolutely not. Lipsha refers to this person in the chapter "Love Medicine", so I posted this to clarify for you. Marie will not be a saint, but she may, at 14, have thought of this woman as she went up the hill to the convent.

i like how her scars went away and then she used her beauty to help others....but what caught my attention was that it took almost 100years to become a saint, i didnt realize it was such a long process

Yea becoming a saint is no easy task, but Marie pretty much has no shot at becoming one
