Henriette Delille, A Placque honoring a Creole candidate for sainthood

[@sgtrius]

Here is the current prayer used at the Sisters of the Holy Family: "O good and gracious God, you called Henriette Delille to give herself in service and in love to the slaves and the sick, to the orphan and the aged, to the forgotten and the despised. Grant that inspired by her life we might be renewed in heart and mind. If it be your will, may she one day be raised to the honor of sainthood. By her prayers may we live in harmony and peace. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."

I went to St. Mary's Academy which was founded by Henriette Delille. I wonder how far she has gotten in the canonization process. I believe there is a debate on if she is canonized as a saint should she be called an African American saint or a creole saint.

thank you very much for the video! I had no idea there was a plaque dedicated to her. I actually just god done watching the movie about her with Vanessa Williams called "Courage to Love", which is a good movie btw. I have alot of respect for this woman she truly was a saint who gave up everything she owned to serve god and help poor people. She worked extremely hard unselfishly to help others providing nursing care and a home for orphans, later establishing schools. ---
