The Right Thing to Do

[tofarawayplaces]

   When I was a kid, living in Hawaii, one of our history lessons was about Father Damien.  I remembered being impressed that someone would willingly live with and care for a colony of lepers, treating them with respect and love.  So today I was happy to read this:

Priest who aided lepers in Hawaii to become saint

They always looked so somber in those days.

Good to learn this. Always admired Fr. Damien. Don't remember if we ever had any lessons about him, but I did read John Farrow's book on him in high school.
