Fr KapaunFather Emil Kapaun of Pilsen, Kansas died a hero at the young age of 35 in a North Korean POW camp in 1951.  His message of hope and resolve to never give up still resonates today. The family of Chase Kear hoped that praying to Kapaun would help heal Chase, who was critically injured in 2008. Now the Vatican is investigating whether Chase Kear is a miracle, and whether Kapaun deserves to be a saint.  Whether the Church officially canonizes Fr. Kapaun or not, we can all take many lessons from him.  He was a true servant, always putting others and their needs before his own.  He broke racial and religious barriers by being courageous enough to speak and live the Good News of Jesus Christ as Lord.  May He rest in peace.   Here is a good site to read more about Fr Kapaun, and now two trailers about a documentary that was made about Fr. Kapaun.
