Mychal Judge<BR/><BR/>Most of us first heard of Father Mychal Judge, the late New York fire chaplain and "saint of 9/11", from that iconic photo of his body being carried from Ground Zero. <BR/><BR/>Yet even prior to his heroic death on 9/11, Father Mychal was widely seen by many New Yorkers as a living saint for his deep spirituality and his extraordinary work with the homeless, recovering alcoholics, people with AIDS, immigrants, gays and lesbians, and others rejected by society. <BR/><BR/>Father Mychal was also openly gay, though celibate. He blessed and supported gay relationships, often annoying church hierarchs. But like his spiritual father St. Francis of Assisi, Mychal reported directly to a Higher Authority, as evidenced by several miraculous healings attributed to his prayers.<BR/><BR/>For further information, visit:<BR/><B>http://SaintMychalJudge.blogspot.com</B>Mychals Prayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007558689850864312noreply@blogger.com
