Aimo's quiet acceptance
[d. 1173]
Aimo was a monk of the 12th century who took it upon himself to minister to lepers. Before long, his superiors at the monastery suspected he’d contracted the disease and sent him to live in solitary confinement. The saint didn’t object, though he knew he was still perfectly healthy.
