A Saint comes calling

[T.A.Stobie_SFO]

Meditate on this and share if you like.

You are sitting in your home in a comfortable quiet place when a saint appears and begins talking to you.

Which saint? What is the topic on conversation? What insights do you gain in the encounter?

St. Faustina to discus God’s great mercy and how it touched her life. After the meeting over tea and cookies, God will help me to be amore humble servant.

St Padre Pio…

I would entreat him to read my heart, and tell me what sins I may have forgotten that may need confessing…I would ask him to let me know exactly what I must do and avoid (not in general…we all know that) but in particular which affects my life… what should I do to please the Lord even more and help me in my Salvation.

Maria Esperanza (even though she is not canonized yet, I believe that she will be).

Probably telling me to:
pray more
love my family more
work harder
sacrifice more
Forgive more
Go to daily mass

Mostly give everything I have and do to Jesus.

What I have learned mostly from Maria Esperanza is to pray and pray and pray and love, love, love.

Something I have to work on everyday. (I fail miserably).

What a beautiful gift from God.

When I meditated on it today, it was St. Francis of Assisi encouraging me in my suffering to remain true to God and continue the good fight.

What a neat suggestion!

St Mary Magdalene (the first witness to Jesus’ resurrection) … To encourage me to persevere in my faith, and that no matter how dark the hour, I will eventually see Jesus in glory.

I have thought lately about St. Pulcheria, who protected the Church from heresies, effectively defended the East from Atilla, and who is an example of how lay people must work with the hierarchy to foster the success of the Church. I like to read about lesser known saints. They may be an untapped gold mine, like the holy souls in Purgatory. They pray for us when they are released–you should pray for the holy souls in purgatory daily, as it will increase the joys of heaven! And I imagine that there are saints who are not as often sought for intercession and who may be more available! Also, I think the more we know the saints, the more accurate our requests for help can be. Is this true? I think it makes sense.

if a Saint appeared to me all my questions would be answered right then.

so which one and the subject wouldn’t matter.

Thought provoking…

Something one can do by opening a book… or reading a quote.

And one can still ask a question… or simply listen…
