Even the youngest of our Saints are wiser than most of us are. And these little ones actually did what they said to do and not to do. GOD Bless our beautiful and Holy Saints. I thank GOD everyday for each and everyone of them. As I also thank them for their lives and everything they have done for us.
Instaurare Omnia in Christo Saint Jacinta was also loving God more than most of us. She also was extremely tough - when she was sick on Spanish Flu the doctors removed her two ribs without anesthesia! She also died completely alone. I think she was about 9-10 years old. Great Saint. St. Jacinta pray for us all!
Our Saints are hard to follow today. People aren't like they use to be. They are involved (including me) into all sorts of trash and wasting time. If our Saints are so hard to follow, how in the world can we be as perfect as The Father is? That's what scares me the most. And there are some who think they are already Holy? It's laughable. But very sad. I thought I was on my way as well one time. I prayed from the time I got up, till I went to bed. Not exaggerating either. And still prayed as I was trying to sleep. I only took 15 minute breaks. Sometimes a half hour after long periods of praying. Catching up on sermons, special talks etc on our Faith. I even woke up once praying! But here I am having a hard time praying. Wasting time. And far from even close to being a Saint. This is why I love them so much. And why I look up to them so much. They had what it took. And they stuck with it no matter how hard it was. Most of the time doing it easily. While I have to struggle everyday. Fighting everyday to do the right thing. That's what made me want to give up a few times. But I am determined to see it all through till the end.
