Rocco’s Whispers today has a lovely story about the funeral of Korea’s Cardinal Kim, with photos that stand in a certain contrast to the one illustrating the story set out just before, the latter photo itself standing in a certain contrast to the lives of two of the people whose canonization has been announced: Fr. Damien and Sr. Jeanne Jugan.
Hooray for Jeanne Jugan! The Little Sisters of the Poor have been important to my family (both of my grandmothers lived in their home in Scranton, as well as my great uncle), so I’ve been hearing about their founder since I was a little girl. They must be excited!
Edit: Here’s a link to a story in the Scranton paper about the Little Sisters receiving the news.
