Pierre Toussaint and Mother Elizabeth M. Lange are not saints yet. However, they will be within several years. Due to their color, both of them discrimination and many other barriers imposed by white people including the bishops. Yet, their love for God did not stop them from doing what they believed God had called them to do. May their heroic faith and acts inspire us to become better Christians through loving God and other people especially those who give us difficult time.

The second part of the vlog will be shown sometime in December 2008.
