There is a priest in Olinda and Recife in Brazil by the name of Dom Helder Camara. He is a gentle person who lives and works daily with the poorest of the poor.
In his books he shares the pains and sufferings of the people and his own hurts as he walks alongside them. In his brief, simple poetry, you can understand the depth of his love for God and his assurance of God's love for the people and himself.
In his sharing the dangers of his ministry, he also receives the blessing of being loved by God and the people. Dom Helder Camara is a very special saint today. Look for his book, A Thousand Reasons for Living published by Augsburg Fortress.
