Saints and Past
The Saints were all not born with perfection and holiness. Some were gravely into sin. But others were very mild in it. They slowly grew in virtues and the great Saints they have become today. It was a journey. St Therese of Lisieux was recorded to have thrown tantrums and a fit of rage or… Continue reading

God’s Visitations
God is present with his holy people all the time. He guides them day and night(Exodus 13:21). His Saints were such as these. Miracles and visitations were an usual thing for them.

Rich Saints
Having earthly blessings is not evil. For some who have a calling towards austere living, they may stay away from riches. This was true in the lives of Saints who lived a hermit-like life as St Francis of Assisi. For it is said, ‘It is difficult for rich people to enter heaven. But with God… Continue reading

God’s Favourites
God wants the best for his children. He knows what to give us and we should ask everything what he wills. The blessings and gifts from him can fill us with utmost satisfaction.

God and Will
It is good to be under an authority. All authority is from God(Romans 13:1). In Godly terms, God works through these people to accomplish his will in the world.

Bearing Grace
God won’t leave any of his faithful into troubles and stays away from them. He gives such people graces so that they can remain less irritated and not feel there is a great burden on them.

Great risks for God
Many of God’s people would trust in his Providence and risk everything for his call. The dangers awaiting them while doing this will of his did not discourage them. They took great risks towards spreading of the gospel to remote places. One of the great Saints, St Francis Xavier, volunteered to go on a journey… Continue reading

Saints and God: Intense Communication
The communication between God and his Saints was intense. They used to be lost in prayers for hours together at a time unmindful of their surroundings and people peeping into this activity. This was true in the life of St Martin Porres. His landlady was peeping into his room to see what was going on… Continue reading

Prayers
God’s healing in his people’s lives takes its own time. He makes everything beautiful in his time(Ecclesiastes 3:11). His promises may take time, but are sure and amen(2 Cor 1:20). Wherever prayers are offered to God, there is hope(Proverbs 23:18). Our duty is to pray without ceasing(1 Thes 5:17). Many Saints prayed constantly. St Faustina… Continue reading

Saints: Against Publicity
God never wants us to seek earthly things(Romans 12:2). He has made it obvious in the life of his Saints too. They never liked publicity. Many great Saints lived the lives of hermits in forests to have a deep spiritual awakening. More so, Saints like Padre Pio never liked the spiritual phenomenon of the Stigmata… Continue reading

About Me
I’m a preacher and share a very close bond with Mother Mary. Being a Freelance Writer and having a Content Writing experience of over ten years, writing has become a part of my life.
