Episode 3: St. Damien of Molokai

Listen as a podcast.

We choose some saints. Other saints choose us. Listen how St. Damien of Molokai chose Fr. Victor. Be inspired by Fr. Damien’s heroic life—serving the lepers who were quarantined on the Hawaiian island of Molokai. Be challenged to consider who are the “lepers” in our midst today? How are we being called to love them?

Dig In Further:

1. Have you ever had a saint “choose” you? Keep inserting himself/herself in your path? If not, maybe ask the Lord to send you a Saint that you can relate to as a close friend and mentor. 

2. What do you find most inspiring in the life of St. Damien? How does he challenge you to consider how you can “love your neighbor” more robustly?

3. Who are the “lepers” in your life? Those that nobody has time for, everyone is afraid of, or all feel repulsed by? How might you be called to reach out to them?
