Religious-arts Item description : Antique Baroque style Crucifix with the corpus Christi "Christo Vivo" Type : Four nail type with draped perizonium Origin : France Provenance : Congregation of the two Sacred Hearts ( Monastery located in the village Bavel - Netherlands, closed in 2009 ) The Congregation of the sacred hearts the Congregation of the sacred hearts of Jesus and Mary is by the priest Pierre Coudrin, and a layman, the noble Lady Henriette Aymer de la Chevalrie, 1800 founded in France. The congregation was given in 1817, the approval of Pope Pius VII. The Congregation is located in 37 countries and employs about 2000 members. The Congregation is God's love, which has become tangible in Jesus, to ponder, to (be) live and proclaim by worship in the Eucharist and by helping the most needy. In Belgium are the offices in Leuven and Charleroi of importance, in Netherlands, inter alia, the order is represented in Den Bosch. Some of the best-known members are father Damien and Dutch fr. Eustachius. The Congregation of the two Sacred Hearts and his most famous member Father Damien, Father Damien or Saint Damien of Molokai, SS.CC. (Dutch: Pater Damiaan or Heilige Damiaan van Molokai; January 3, 1840 – April 15, 1889), born Jozef De Veuster, was a Roman Catholic priest from Belgium and member of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, a missionary religious order. He won recognition for his ministry to people with leprosy (also known as Hansen's disease), who had been placed under a government-sanctioned medical quarantine on the island of Molokai in the Kingdom of Hawai'i. After sixteen years caring for the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of those in the leper colony, he eventually contracted and died of the disease, and is widely considered a "martyr of charity". He is the ninth person recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church to have lived, worked, and died in what is now the United States. In both the Latin Rite and the Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church, Damien is venerated as a saint, one who is holy and worthy of public veneration and invocation. In the Anglican communion, as well as other denominations of Christianity, Damien is considered the spiritual patron for leprosy, HIV and AIDS patients, and outcasts. As the patron saint of the Diocese of Honolulu and of Hawai'i, Father Damien Day is celebrated statewide on April 15. Upon his beatification by Pope John Paul II inRome on June 4, 1995, Blessed Damien was granted a memorial feast day, which is celebrated on May 10. Father Damien was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on Sunday October 11, 2009. The Catholic Encyclopedia calls him "the Apostle of the Lepers", and elsewhere he is known as the "leper priest". Early life Damien was born Jozef ("Jef") De Veuster, the seventh child of the Flemish corn merchant Frans De Veuster and his wife Cato Wouters in the village of Tremelo in Flemish Brabant. He attended college at Braine-le-Comte, then entered the novitiate of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary in Leuven, taking the name of Brother Damianus (Damiaan in Dutch, Damien in French) in his first vows, presumably in reference to the first Saint Damian. Following in the footsteps of his brother Auguste (Father Pamphile), Damien became a Picpus Brother on October 7, 1860. His superiors thought that he was not a good candidate for the priesthood because he lacked education. However, he was not considered unintelligent. Because he learned Latin well from his brother, his superiors decided to allow him to become a priest. During his ecclesiastical studies, he would pray every day before a picture of St. Francis Xavier, patron of missionaries, to be sent on a mission.Three years later his prayer was answered when, because of illness, Auguste could not travel to Hawai'i as a missionary, and Damien was allowed to take his place.
