And excellent read Ping.

Wow! Thanks for the book recommendation.

I’ll have to read that.

The same was true of most of the doctors interviewed by the Vatican as part of the investigation into possible miracles in Wichita, [Kansas]. They were not Catholic but told the investigator that there was no scientific explanation for what happened and that the hand of God obviously was at work.

I've definitely read articles about him before. From Kansas as well I think.

Thank you for posting this notice of a new book about Fr. Kapaun

I was lucky enough to attend the high school named for Father Kapaun. A most excellent example for young people of faith to read about.

Father Kapaun, Pray for us.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!

DEAR LORD, who suffered torment, agony, and death upon the Cross to free our souls from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend our troops. Guide them in the performance of their duties. Strengthen them to endure hardship, danger and deprivation in Your service. Let their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghanistan from the chains of terror and slavery, foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all to a greater share in Your Mercy. Amen.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Thanks for calling my attention to this new book about Fr. Kapaun.

THANKS for the heads-up.

“They all said they have tried to become better people, to emulate the life that Kapaun led.” God bless him. Thanks for posting this.

You will truly enjoy this book.

Thanks for the book report!

There are some wonderful servants of God serving as chaplains in our US military. Sadly, in our day one of the opponents they must confront is in our anti-Christian administration and bureaucracy.

What a pity that this saint had to have the Medal of Honor awarded to him by that creature.

Thanks for the ping!
