"A daily crowd of the sick, the afflicted, the poor of all kinds - those who were handicapped or wounded by life - came to him. They found in his presence a welcome ear, comfort and faith in God. Do not the poor of today have as much need of such love, of such hope, of such education in prayer?"
Pope John Paul II in a homily honoring Blessed Brother Andre
Beatified by Pope John Paul II on May 23, 1982.
