Saints Alive: Dorothy Stang

The saint that I was most intrigued by was Dorothy Stang. She was a sister who worked in Brazil in the Amazon. I'd conduct more research on her because I was surprised that she was assassinated in 2005. Many of the saints were martyrs around the 1800s, some died later. However, the fact that her death is rather recent is surprising. Her motivation to do good for the rain forests and her use of a Bible as her weapon against her attackers is inspiring.
