Feast of St. Peter Damien, Bishop and Doctor (1007 – 1072)

“In serenity, look forward to the joy that follows sadness.  Hope leads you to that joy and love enkindles your zeal.”

                                                                                    --St. Peter Damien

For Reflection:

The letter to the Hebrews tells us that “faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” (11:1).  How does this help me live out the advice of St. Peter Damien?
