annie says: "It is always inspiring to read stories of great people. As Catholics we have many priest, religious and lay persons, who we can look up to. This is a collection of books about priests and religious who have lead exemplary lives in modern times. Sometimes I feel it is easier to identify with modern day stories than those of thousands of years ago although we need to read those too.
I am a member of my parish library committee, and will continue to add books to this list as I find them. Learning about those who we share our faith with can help us to grow in our faith and to understand all the teachings and truths of the Catholic Church."
"Father Damien was was beatified by Pope John Paul II on June 4, 1995, and the state of Hawaii has honored him with a statue which stands in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol building.
If not for Fr. Damien's unpopularity with his superiors, and the jealousy and envy in their hearts, I believe Fr. Damien would have been canonized long ago."
