BarbTherese Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 [quote name='tinytherese' timestamp='1349475613' post='2490472'] St. John of Avila is not the same as St. John of the Cross. [/quote] True! St John of Avila at one time was a director for St Teresa of Avila and I think (unsure) also St. John of The Cross. According to Catholic Online, yes he directed at some point both saints and a few more: [url="http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=3944"]http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=3944[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to meet a saint one day that can help me to become a saint. I woluld like to be a saint, everything else i have tried has failed. Though i guess if i don't meet a saint i can still become a saint the hard way, meeting a saint is probably the easy way coz they always point you in the right direction. But than what of sainthood, maybe a worm in the garden of heaven is also prophetable, without GOD even that worm can't exist.

BarbTherese Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) St Teresa of Avila called herself a worm which rather confused me at the time, wondering what poor worms had done to her - then I read that the description exists in Scripture too. "[u][color=#0000ff]6][/color][/u] They cried to thee, and they were saved: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. [url="http://www.drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=21&ch=21&l=7#x"][7][/url] But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people. [url="http://www.drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=21&ch=21&l=8#x"][8][/url] All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head. [url="http://www.drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=21&ch=21&l=9#x"][9][/url] He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him. [url="http://www.drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=21&ch=21&l=10#x"][10][/url] For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother." Psalm 21 (beautiful Psalm!) Worms do a lot of good in a garden, Tab, enriching the soil for the seeds to grow. Much to hope for for us worms yet - look at St Teresa! A saint and Doctor of The Church. Our God is a God of miracles like sanctity and holiness in life. And some of our saints started out as the most unlikely candidates for holiness and sanctity of life. I did 'sit up' at the way you misspelt "profitable" to "prophetable"? Was it a misspelling, or was it prophetic? Prophets do not so much foretell the future as can be commonly thought, rather proclaim The Lord and His Gospel............[with words if necessary (St Francis of Assisi)] God bless, Tab, putting all your trust and confidence in God for the very best of gifts. Our God of The Surprise. I wonder if we have better than meeting a saint............ in The Kingdom, which Jesus tells us is within us. And Jesus reigns in His Kingdom and in Love, Peace and in Joy. St Teresa, poor worm , certainly put all her eggs in that basket. Edited October 10, 2012 by BarbaraTherese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
