Pros and Cons: What is a Saint?

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

From the news, I have heard that Ex-President Corazon Aquino could be a candidate for a saint. Why not? Anyone can be a candidate - Anyone so holy or even a sinner who got converted to a life of religiousness or service

But then, I think, the crowd's applause and approval of her is enough to make her one good example of a leader. And that can't make her a saint. She got her accolades and a lot of supporters, but it wasn't enough to transform people

The Edsa Miracle was GOD's gift to the Filipinos and to the world showing the power of love and prayer. Everybody collaborated, and it was not only one leader but an assemblage of workers for peace

Sainthood couldn't be seen so soon. It will take a lot of study, time, and blood, and being unpopular/sacrifice. It will take a lot of heart to do that. One has to go down to the poor and the under privileged, deny situations of fame and accept the will of GOD and coincidences that couldn't be explained by human laws. One had to withdraw from the crowd and live a life of simplicity. If so,why couldn't Dr. Jose Rizal become a saint - he was a role model for the people, too, just like the other good leaders and Cory

A Saint is not just being a good example, but more than being a good example. Sometimes, a saint couldn't be on the limelight, but have just ONE purpose to fulfill, or to fight for like St. Joan of Arc, and Mary Magdalene, and Mama Mary.

What are the fruits of the Saints?

Okay. I pray we could all be Saints in our own little ways and share and love... we don't need to be canonized, but JESUS who sees our hearts will say

"I will make you a Saint," because I love you so much.

Well... I am not into Canon Laws. Smile!

St. Hannibal, pray for us
Send O Lord, holy apostles into Your Church

Sacred Heart of Jesus, we trust in You.

Good evening...5:45PM, Philippines
