There are many individuals who dedicated their lives to serving God by helping those afflicted with leprosy. Here are a couple of prominent examples:
* Saint Damien of Molokai: A Roman Catholic priest from Belgium who served lepers on the island of Molokai, Hawaii. He eventually contracted leprosy himself and died there. He is considered a martyr of charity.
* Saint Marianne Cope: A Franciscan Sister who also served lepers in Hawaii, working with Saint Damien and continuing his work after his death. She never contracted the disease and is known for her compassionate care and organizational skills.
These are just two of the many individuals who have shown immense love and dedication to helping those suffering from leprosy. There are countless others, known and unknown, who have followed a similar path of service.
