Father Jogues was a brave man who helped others along their journey in captivity. He endured the most horrific acts of violence and still he believed in God. When I first read through the story of Father Jogues I didn’t understand why he would voluntarily join the others in captivity and later I couldn’t understand how he had seen his pain as serving God. Soon after reading his entire story I began to see why Father Jogues risked his life for the sake of his fellow captives. Looking at why Father Jogues joined the captives makes more sense further along in his story. It isn’t spelled out directly but through his actions. He gave others the opportunity to confess their sins and turned them Christian. He also gave great comfort to the others
