Some extraordinary children seem sent by God to teach us about the “big questions” such as life, death, suffering, and the existence of God. The children in this book, all of whom suffered terribly during their short lives, bore witness to God’s love and an understanding of the meaning of suffering and “what to do with it” that belied their years. The Jerome Lejeune Foundation Reception and Book Signing will include a co-signing of the new book “Littlest Suffering Souls” by author Mr. Austin Ruse, Mr. Frank Kelly — father to one of the beautiful children from the book, and Madame Jerome Lejeune. |
Schedule Registration |
