"Great News"
On October 17,2010 Brother Andre became the first
male Canadian born Saint and the first for the congregation of the Holy
Cross.
Blessed Brother Andre,
your devotion to Saint Joseph is an
inspiration
to us.
You gave your life selflessly
to bring the message of his life to
others.
Pray that we may learn from Saint
Joseph,
and from you,
what it is like to care for Jesus and do
his
work in the world. Amen

For
the canonization of Brother Andre:
Lord, you have
chosen Blessed Brother Andre to
spread devotion to St. Joseph and to minister to all those who are
afflicted.
Through his intercession, grant us the favor that we are now
requesting.
. .
We also pray that
the Church may canonize
him
as soon as possible. Grant us the grace to imitate his piety and his
charity
so that, with him, we may share the reward promised to all those who
care
for their neighbor because of their love for you.
Through Jesus
Christ, our Lord. Amen.
In a homily honoring Brother
Andre, Pope John
Paul II said:
"A daily crowd-of the sick, the afflicted,
the poor of all kinds--those who were handicapped or wounded by
life--came
to him. They found in his presence a welcome
ear, comfort and faith in God. Do not the poor of today have as much
need of such love, of such hope, of such
education
in prayer?" May 23, 1982
This Room is Dedicated to:

Andre
Brother
Andre's feastday is, January 6th!
Ask him and St. Joseph for a
special favor like
I do.

when you have
received your blessing.

Bendito
Hermano Andrés, tu
devoción
a San José es una inspiración para nosotros. Diste tu
vida
libremente para traer el mensaje de su vida a los demás. Ruega
para
que aprendamos de San José y de ti lo que significa creer en
Jesús
y hacer su trabajo en el mundo. Amén
Por la canonización del
Hermano Andrés:
Señor, Tú escogiste al bendito Hermano Andrés para
esparcir la devoción a San José y para ayudar a todos los
afligidos. Por su intercesión, concédenos ahora el favor
que Te pedimos... También rogamos que la Iglesia le canonice tan
pronto como sea posible. Concédenos la gracia de imitar su
piedad
y caridad para que, con él, compartamos la recompensa prometida
a todos aquellos que ayudan al prójimo por amor a Ti. Por
Cristo,
Nuestro Señor. Amén.

En una homilía en honor del
Hermano
Andrés,
el Papa Juan Pablo II dijo: "Una multitud diaria de enfermos,
afligidos,
pobres de todos tipos -aquellos discapacitados o heridos por la vida-
llegaban
hasta él. En su presencia encontraban a alguien que les
escuchaba
y acogía, descanso y fe en Dios. ¿No tienen los pobres de
hoy la misma necesidad de amor, esperanza y educación en la
oración?"
23 de mayo, 1982.
La festividad del Hermano
Andrés es el
8 de enero Pídele a él y a San José un favor
especial,
como yo. Por favor, haznos saber que has recibido tu bendición.
