Description

In late October of 1946, young Ignatius DiGiovanni was admitted to St. Vincent's Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. A childhood injury had left the 25-year old man with a misaligned jaw that needed to be broken and reset.

Surgery in 1946 was crude by today's standards, and Ignatius lay in bed, out of work for six months, while his wired jaw healed.

During his hospital stay, a chaplain visited often, bringing with him current works of Catholic writers. Being a lapsed Catholic, Ignatius found little or no use for the many books and pamphlets. Remember, however, there was no television in 1946, and hour upon hour in a hospital room gave way to profound boredom, so much so that even Catholic reading became an option. In the beginning, Ignatius read to refute a good debate with the friendly chaplain would at least kill some time but the more he read, the more he was moved. He found solace and depth where there was emptiness, and the peace he felt with prayer was a solitude that he had never felt before.
