“There is so little distance between heaven and earth that God always hears us. Nothing but a thin veil separates us from God.” — St. André Bessette of Montreal
Do you ever feel like God is too far away? Maybe you can take inspiration from Holy Cross Brother St. André Bessette. This Canadian saint and healer is a wonderful example of someone who suffered a lifetime of poor health that could have caused him despair. Instead brought God closer to the people to whom he ministered.
