through selfless caring
honest christian charity
brought peace to the poor
with honour we recognise
the nun who became a saint

I had written this with her in mind back in 2016:

Goodness Within

Goodness is in
all that she does
because within
there never was
a single thought
considered not
wholly holy.

  That’s beautiful.
  
  I had difficulty writing this tanka. I found some troubling information during research.
