We live in a fallen world. Whatever can go wrong will. It is easy to feel alone or discouraged even when we know that God is always with us.
This is the beauty of the saints. I know that I know that I know that there is a God and He will never fail me, that Christ rose from the dead and He reigns. However, I am just a humble mom here on earth a little pin prick on the blue planet, a speck of life in human history.
What do I really know of our All Powerful God? The saints on the other hand, they are amazing but they were just like me. Many were simple moms, some were very young, others late bloomers, all were sinners.
The saints chose the better part here on earth and have gained their reward. Although I feel so deeply flawed, I know it is possible for anyone to become a saint. I also know those who have obtained the crown of glory, are praying for us still in the trenches.
Calling on a patron saint at any time is a great blessing of our faith. There is a patron saint for everything and anything. Did you know St Veronica is the patron of laundry??
The saints and angels surround and pray with us each Mass. We are incredibly blessed to get to meet Heaven here on earth and have the backing of those who have fought the good fight, know our incredible struggles, and are cheering us into the ever after of eternal rest.
Have you sought the aid of any heavenly friends today?
