Soon to be St. Damien! I just read, on Fox News of all places, that Blessed Damien has had a second miracle attributed to his intercession before God and will be canonized this fall.
The movie made of his life is worth watching, starring the actor who played Faramir in the Lord of the Rings. Imagine voluntarily exiling yourself to an island of lepers to serve them and bring them the gospel, knowing that you would most likely contract the horrible disease and die at a young age as well, but still saying Yes to Jesus Christ and going for love of God.
