I am always on a look out for a good book to read. I saw in the gift shop at Pearl Harbor two books on the Christian background of Hawaii. Fr. Damien of Molokai and later Mother Marianne of Molokai were Christian missionaries who served the poor, the sick, lepers, and the dying. They were tireless in their sacrificial love they showed the Hawaii people. Fr. Damien died with the same disease of leprosy as he lived and cared for the untouchables. Most people will not remember these two departed saints but these were the very people who showed the people of Hawaii the face of Jesus.
