10,000

There are more than 10,000 saints recognized by the Roman Catholic Church. 

But here’s the GOOD NEWS. Heaven is sooooo vast so there’s more space available. It's always ready to accommodate more saints. Jesus Himself says that, "In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places” (John 14:2)

And here’s the BETTER NEWS, one of the future saints is you! 

Yes, you are a future saint. Jesus says that, "I go & prepare a place for you" (John 14:3)

Do you want to hear the BEST NEWS?

You're a future saint & you can also help Jesus make more saints. These saint candidates are in your midst now. This may be hard to believe but that includes that annoying person whose goal in life is …. to annoy you 🙂

In today’s Gospel, Jesus says that, “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took & mixed with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened.” (Matthew 13:33)

The yeast ferments the WHOLE dough. That yeast is the kingdom of God. But that YEAST IS ALSO YOU. You should "ferment" the whole world & not the other way around where the world "ferments" you. We are brought into the world but we need to keep our identity as children of God. We need to keep our identity as Christians.

As Christians, we let Jesus reign in our hearts so that our words & action are according to Him. As our words & actions become Jesus-like, we also "ferment" the people around us. Then their words & action also become Jesus-like. As the yeast in the dough metabolizes the starches & sugars in the flour it turns them into alcohol & carbon dioxide gas. This gas inflates the dough & causes the bread to RISE. You too should cause people around you to #RiseUp, to be better, to become holier, to become saints!

So always MAKE SURE that YOUR WORDS & ACTIONS LIFT UP OTHERS TO BE BETTER. 

10,000 saints by God’s standards is too low a number. God wants everyone to be with Him in heaven & only saints are allowed to pass through the heavenly gates.

Always #aimtobeaSaint, you were meant to be one so start living like one. - alvinfabella@yahoo
