Louis Pasteur was not just a great scientist, he was a great man.
Losing three of his five children to typhoid fever could have caused him to turn inward or to lose his faith in God. Instead, his faith sustained him, and his suffering motivated him to help others.
He learned much about how to prevent infectious diseases. He created vaccines for rabies and anthrax. And he created a process to stop milk and juice from making people sick. We now call that process "pasteurization" in his honor.
Louis Pasteur's example of faith, courage, compassion, and perseverance can strengthen and inspire us as we face our trials.
We each experience pain and suffering as we go through life. Although we don't seek them, our trials can refine us and help us grow. And as we see how great people of the past have risen above their challenges, we realize our own potential more fully.
