ClaireBear Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 "You are the saints of the next generation." (Pope JP II, speaking to a crowd of teenagers... that could be the wrong guy, and if it is I'm really sorry, it just popped into my head when I was typing this up That is so amazing, but also kind of scary to think about (just the occasional "head chopped off" bits from the lives of the saints)! How awesome is it that so many people who have posted above desire sainthood, and are willing to make any sacrifices necessary!? Honestly, not many kids would answer that the same way, knowing what it took for some of the saints to become who they were. "being a Saint is showing God to others through actions more than words." futurenun, that is so true... great post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Thanks! There are two types of martyrdom! Red and white: Red is where they die for the Faith, and white is where they die to themselves and completely give themselves to God, no matter how hard or difficult it was... Well, it's something like that, I can't explain things well anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIX Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Hmmmmmmmmm..... I was thinking, we have to wonder if we realy act like we want to be saints. I heard of somebody who said that he wants to be a saint, but he doesn't want to want to be a saint enough. Interesting, me too. But yes, I wanna be a saint.

+GOD_iS_mOvInG+ Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 ya! corse I want to be a Saint! Easier said then done, of corse!! Ive read a few books on the Saints, one of them being St. Teresa..it takes more then we think to be a Saint... Are we really WILLING to be a Saint? Saints have to suffer for it, but if it is for saving souls, suffering becomes joy as well! anyone who follows GOD is a saint..but Saints(capital 'S')are those that give themselves completely to GOD, not rely on Earthly things, die for Christ spiritually and/or phisically..etc..(learned that in LT lol) he died for us..so now its our turn..we should die for and unto him in return!(meaning phisically and/or spiritually) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyyoimjohnny Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I want to be a martyr! That's be the coolest way to die ever. But yeah I'll take whatever God wants to give me. I want to be a Saint, but then I look at myself and my weaknesses, and I don't really see it happening. I think, "I could be holy someday..." and then I'm like, "yeah, right." Heh. I don't really see myself as Saint material... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GOD_iS_mOvInG+ Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 ya, thats prettty much the story for me..I mean, I try..I dont watch as much tv, or get on the net as I use to..all I listen to is christian music..I read books about the Saints, the Soul and the church..I try to change ppls minds about the world, GOD and hopefully..eventually their lives.. I know being a Saint expects ALOT more then that..to really be remembered, you have to change the world somehow, and be willing to get rid of All and not just some earthly things... I dont think I can do that..but hey, with GOD you can do anything! Let your will be done, LORD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunga_ann Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 [quote name='FutureNunJMJ' date='Jul 12 2004, 06:36 PM'] Sainthood is such a glorious thing! The humble and the meek are exalted and those who give beyond what they have are given all they need by God... Simple splendors and wonderous Truths... Deep communion with God... deep communion with the world... Oh, how i wish to be a Saint! But I remember, it will only be if I follow God faithfully and abanddon myself to Him, and never return to earthly things... I do not need to be a mystic or perform miracles while I'm alive here on earth... being a Saint is showing God to others through actions more than words... and being faithful and true to Him as we fulfill His mission for us in this life... in the next, we can help souls on earth... all part of the Communion of Saints! Ah, glorious Sainthood! How I strive for it, but yet I fall short... But with Him, I can try over and over again! [/quote] Amen, Sister!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
