"Doorman at the Notre Dame College in Montreal, he showed boundless charity and did everything possible to soothe the despair of those who confided in him. With little instruction, he nevertheless understood what was essential to his faith. For him, to believe meant to submit freely and lovingly to Divine Will. Everything existed through the mystery of Jesus, he lived the beatitude of the pure of heart, that of personal rectitude. It is thanks to this simplicity, he showed many God.... For him, everything spoke of God and His presence. May we, following his example, search for God with simplicity to discover Him always present in the core of our lives!" --Pope Benedict XVI(in his canonization homily)
