Another saint


An incredibly courageous Franciscan nun.

US nun's cause moves forward with initial ruling on second miracle

The story of Fr. Damien has always amazed me. The courage anyone has who goes to what amounts to an almost positive death sentence is incredible, and I think that the amount of love for God's creation is what intensely intrigues me. At the same time, I wish the stories of these first Nuns who went to Molokai to serve the people there was better known, for exactly the same reason. It's good to hear of people like this...
