Life of Little Nellie Holy of God Anonymous

Nellie was a spirited child and a unique little masterpiece of God. No one knows where she learned the name " Holy God" and no one knows how she instantly recognized Holy God when she first saw the Blessed Sacrament exposed on the altar. Nellie Organ spent the last few months of her life with the Good Shepherd Sisters in Cork, Ireland. Her great desire was to receive Holy God and with permission of her Bishop, she received Him about 32 times before her death at age 4 1/2. The Sisters lovingly treasured up their experiences with this special child who had been entrusted to their care, and those anecdotes are here passed on to new generations of Catholics. Many favors have been obtained through Nellie's intercession, and her body was found intact a year after her death. The great Pope St Pius X requested and received a relic of Little Nellie. Children and adults alike will find in Nellie Organ an exquisite example of love and reverence for Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist.
