Holiness and Sainthood
Last night in RCIA I gave a presentation on discipleship and evangelization. I encouraged the group to live and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In my exhortation, I told them that one of my own personal goals, though I am far from achieving it, is to be perfectly holy. This holiness was not for my own sake, but to glorify God's name. I want to be a saint, because that is what we are created for - not to have my picture on a holy card.
Of course, someone who was there had a bit too much time on their hands today. So, I found this in my box.

Marcel of Aggieland - Patron Saint of C.T.s (Crooked Ties)
When will these be in production? I'm running out of St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori cards anyway.
Patronages also include:
-Shiny heads
-Fathers of 5
-Loud and obnoxious people
-Guys who run and are still chubby.
I don't know when you will be able to get one, I think this one fell from heaven.
Saints are portrayed in different ways. A dog carrying a torch often accompanies depictions of St. Dominic. A person in a moral struggle is symbolized with an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other.
St. Marcel is portrayed with a little Jesus on his shoulder.
No devil though.
By the way, a common way to depict a martyr is with the means of their death. I hope I don't die by my tie or falling off the balcony in St. Mary's.
Clever.
