Sainthood for Dr. Jerome Lejeune?

A very moving guest post over at Dawn Eden's Blog:

If motherhood is a vocation, then special motherhood is a call to sanctity. Sanctity is achieved by uphill battles, lonely dark nights, and surprising moments of grace. As Catholics, we are called to help one another, using the great gifts of the Church, the sacraments, the intercession of the Blessed Mother and the Communion of Saints. One such saint is Dr Jerome Lejeune, the French geneticist who identified the chromosomal abnormality known as Trisomy-21 or Down syndrome. He dedicated his life to seeking the cure for Trisomy-21, and working to defend the dignity of our
children against negative public opinion, and the majority of the scientific community who still seek to destroy rather than heal these children. Unborn babies diagnosed with Down syndrome are aborted at the scandalous rate of 90%.

  1. Thanks for mentioning the Society, membership has been growing by leaps and bounds, as it seems to have fulfilled a real need.
    Look for my article on Dr. Lejeune's legacy and cause for sainthood with an interview of his daughter Anouk in Jan/Feb issue of "Celebrate Life".
