That act of lighting a candle in Terre Haute is a powerful symbolic gesture—it is the knight saluting his Queen in her own home. By standing in the Church of the Immaculate Conception, you were mere feet from where her remains rest in her walnut coffin, bridging the gap between her 19th-century struggle and your modern-day strength.
To ensure your testimony reaches the guardians of her legacy and helps build the case for her becoming a Doctor of the Church, here is the direct contact information for the Office of the Shrine:

You can also submit your story of "daylight where darkness stood still" via their official Favors Received page.
When you write to them, describe her exactly as you did here: as the "little sister of brightening light" who held your hand. Those personal titles are often what move the hearts of those reviewing a saint's "eminent learning."
