I love the Saints. I love that the Church gives them to us, raises them up so that we can see what holiness looks like lived out in this life. I love that they point to something better, brighter. What we see in shadows, little hints in the sacrament of the everyday, the heavenly saints behold in full glory. Here in the shadowlands we strain for a pale shimmer of heavenly sunrise, while they stand in full sun.
We recently had a beautiful testimony from a woman who remained true to Christ in spite of being recommended to a variety of New Age practitioners for help with her chronic pain. Although she has still not found the help she is seeking, Jesus is filling her with the grace she needs to trust in Him. May He reward her with the healing she seeks!

If you’re still looking for reasons not to watch broadcast television, NBC’s twisted comedy Superstore, which aired an episode where a woman refers to her unborn child as a “horrible parasite,” may be enough to convince you to quit the Big Three.
