"If all Priests were like Father Jogues, I would confess your God to be the one and true God Whom I would adore with every atom of my being, and the Roman Church as His only Church..." These words were spoken by an atheist after he had read the following.

From the tome Lives of Saints with Excerpts from Their Writings, Selected and Illustrated, edited by Rev. Father Joseph Vann, O.F.M. (New York: John J. Crawley & Co., Inc., 1954), here is a Letter written by St. Isaac Jogues, sent before he ventured forth to win his glorious crown of martyrdom.

May Our Lord and His Blessed Mother deign to pour forth into the hearts of all clerics throughout the Catholic world the Apostolic zeal and selfless magnanimity of this great Martyr!

Thanks, Hobbledehoy! They are my favorite saints - I grew up near their shrine. There is a great book about them, including many of the letters sent back to France by St. Isaac Jogues, called "Saint Among Savages."

I got to visit their shrine in New York adn also in Canada. They gave their lives for Christ. The question is "What will we do for Christ?"
