Voices of Holy Cross: Stories of Hope

Br. Philip Smith CSC: Exercising Zeal (And a Healthy Dose of Patience)

US Province of the Congregation of Holy Cross Season 2 Episode 3

Brother Philip Smith CSC is the archivist for the Midwest Province of Holy Cross Brothers. In his first few months on that job, with a little push from the Holy Spirit urging him to "look up and to the right," he discovered over 6000 letters between Br. Columba O'Neill and others, documenting thousands of cures, which convinced him to pursue Columba's case for sainthood. Due largely to Br. Philip's zeal and patient effort, Br. Columba O'Neill has recently been named a Servant of God.
