St. Noel Chabanel is one of the North American martyrs, celebrated today in the Church. “Like the life of the suffering Christ he served, Noel’s life seemed one of apparent failure. Noel is the silent hero of the hard trail, a patron of misfits.”

Hard to express how MUCH I love the North American Martyrs. My sons middle names are Isaac & John, after them. (Today—my Joseph Isaac’s birthday—is their feast day.)
They LOVED Jesus, each other, and the Huron they died for, and with.
May they intercede for evangelistic revival!
Today, the Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Isaac Jogues, who sacrificed his life to share the Gospel in the New World. #Catholic#CatholicChurch

On the Feast of the North American Martyrs.
They are founders of faith in America, not only the Jesuits saints & martyrs, but their Indian brothers who died for Christ.
Portrait includes St. Rene Goupil who died uttering the Holy Name of Jesus, and the unknown Indian martyr.
Do you know who is in this picture? It's Saint Isaac Jogues, one of the North American Martyrs. We celebrate their feast day today. The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the faith.
Today is the feast of the North American Martyrs among whom is the Jesuit missionary St Isaac Jogue. His canonical fingers were gnawed off by rats so he needed Papal dispensation to continue to offer Mass; these fingers are reserved for touching the Host.

"O God, who chose to manifest the blessed hope of your eternal kingdom by the toil of Saint John de Brébeuf and his companions, and by the shedding of their blood, graciously grant that through their intercession the faith of Christians may be strengthened day by day. Amen."
"I think there’s no better place in the United States to be formed in courage than the Shrine of Our Lady of Martyrs in @auriesville ..." writes Fr. Roger Landry in the @NCRegister

Jesus, my Lord and Savior, what can I give You in return for all the favors You have first conferred on me? — Saint John de Brebeuf #NorthAmericanMartyrs @auriesville
Today on the feast of the North American Martyrs, we see God's overflowing mercy radiate through how they never stopped seeking to bring that mercy to some who were initially resistant and to others who would end up making them martyrs.
