St.Andre

St.Andre

St.Andre was born in the year of 1845 and died in the year of 1937. He lived a life full of great difficulties. But even with all of these difficulties in his life, he never complained or got mad. When Brother Andre was 9, his father died from a falling tree that fell on him. Then a few years later, Brother Andre's mother died from tuberculosis. Brother Andre had a disability. As Brother Andre got older, he wanted to be a priest in a church in Montreal. But since he was in bad health and never had the qualities of being a priest, the church didn't accept him. So they let Brother Andre be a doorman of the church. Soon, people who had a sibling in bad health asked Brother Andre if there was a priest available to pray for their sibling, but there weren't any. Then Brother Andre offered the person to pray with them to St.Joseph. After that, the person Brother Andre prayed for got healed. In a little while, there were long lineups to see and pray with Brother Andre, not the priests. Brother Andre had determination and lots of respect for others. He spent lots of hours everyday praying to St.Joseph of other people. Brother Andre did thousands of miraculous healings over his life time.
