neither read nor write saying I'm sending you a saint. The brothers read the note, read the young man, sickly, jobless, simple, and tried to send him away. As Brother Andre later noted, the brothers showed me the door. I stayed there for 40 years.

As the doorman for the monastery, Brother Andre lived in a little room to the side of the front entry.

He spent much of the night on his knees, while in the daytime, counseled visitors,

prayed for them, and anointed the sick with oil, he referred to as

oil of St Joseph. Due to his tremendous devotion to St Joseph, soon the crutches of the healed invalids began to pile up from those miraculously cured.

Stories of this wonder-working saint spread throughout the towns and countryside of Montreal.

Weak in body, Andre revealed the truth about strength, that it's in the spirit.

He symbolized the teaching of St Paul.

God chooses the weak to shame the strong from 1st Corinthians chapter 1.

Our father who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come,

thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily road,

And forget us our trespasses,

as we forgive those and trespass against us. the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy wound Jesus.
