Today, I start with the Saints

Lately, I have been so engrossed with the lives of the Saints.  Their ways and their lifestyle.  And even their so-called cool antics and tricks. haha.

Being in different centers here around the Philippines.  I have noticed that most of the schools, conference venues, retreat houses are named after saints.. St. Andrew, St. Mary, St. Teresa, St. Benedict, etc etc.  And noticing that, I have come to realize that I don't know these people! I only know their names.  And me, with the ultimate goal of wanting to be holy like these saints wonder on how could i challenge myself to get-to-know these people.  How did they come to know God in the coolest way possible?  How is their relationship with Almighty?  What are there challenges and even failures?  How did they cling on to the all-power glory of God.  

So here I am.. A little I know of them.  My favorites are St. Ignatius and St. Augustine.. since I came from the schools named after them.  And now, I challenge myself to know the other ones.. Know their stories and their lives, how they followed Christ.

Here you go.. the challenge for me... know these saints.  A day to day reflection as I get to know them.  If you want, it can be yours too.. if you follow this blog, of course. :)

It's a start of making these Saints our friends.. There are a lot of them. You might be one someday.
