I am very inspired by the life of Elizabeth Kindelmann, to whom Mary and Jesus entrusted the responsibility of bringing the Flame of Love Movement to the Church. (If you are unfamiliar with the Flame of Love devotion, here’s a link: Survey of the Flame of Love ). Reading the diary of Elizabeth Kindelmann makes clear the great extent to which she suffered, as well as her endurance in trust and self-denial out of her love for God. I want to invoke her in my own trials because she was clearly very holy and close to Christ (not to mention how the things He said to her sure make it sound like she would have gone straight to Heaven), but she’s bafflingly not even a Blessed at this point. Is it theologically appropriate to ask God to inspire the Church’s consideration to begin the process of canonizing someone?

Even if her messages are approved by the Church, private revelations are not part of the canonization process. There has to be at least one miracle. Are there any miracles alleged to have happened through her?
See link for the process:
