A 19-year-old college student walked 70 miles to pray at the tomb of Saint Mother Theodore Guerin in Indiana. His inspirations for the trek were a friend with cancer and the story of Guerin's work. From CNN:
An aging friend of Domini’s who lives nearby in Crawfordsville, Indiana, had been diagnosed with stage IV cancer six months earlier.
“He wasn’t doing well, and he’s the kind of guy who gives so much and doesn’t expect anything in return,” Domini said. “I wanted to do something for him.”
Without telling his friend, Domini, who isn’t Catholic and said he has tried out different churches but considers himself more spiritual than religious, said he decided to take a long walk in search of spiritual assistance.
Many were touched by his action - his friend with cancer, the sisters at the convent, and Domini himself who came away inspired to make the world a better place. It was a simple act of faith.
