All my gory stories came from a little book of saint stories that I got for my first communion.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542715899155247984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-741427723731956922007-11-01T18:32:00.000-05:002007-11-01T18:32:00.000-05:00Yeah, the saints really can be an inspiration.

I did go to a Catholic school in NYC (grades 1-2), and in CT (grades 6-8), but I never supposed that as a kid I'd ever really understand the suffering they endured for their faith. However, being older and presumably wiser, I say the saints matter because they lived their faith and would never renounce it, no matter what. <BR/><BR/>Contrast with today, where so many complain about the most trivial things. A real saint would suck it up (in today's vernacular) and really or certainly understand the real divine purpose behind their suffering. I'm not a practicing Catholic these days (UCC/Congregational today), but we could try to emulate the early saints, or quit complaining about nothing, really.

Something's lost and can't be found. <BR/><BR/>The story about buring St. Joseph also made the front page of the Wall St. Journal this week. I don't remember what day. <BR/>Happy Saint's Day!Cristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16858616550013481134noreply@blogger.com
