The next Saint Dominic Savio

I have said a couple of times, "I will become a saint".... I even promised to other people that I will become a saint.... but now, I come to realize, its hard to become a saint... It takes a lot of sacrifices, a lot of good deeds, and it takes miracles to become a saint...

But I will not stop!

as the saying goes... "there can be miracles if you believe"

and I believe... I believe that i can become a saint!

Some people who knows me very well said, "your too sinful to become a saint", for some, "it's impossible for you to become a saint"...

But I tell you this, "when it comes to God, nothing is impossible"
why cant i become a saint.... the saints you know today once became human... and all human beings are sinful... which means that the saints you know today are once sinful...

Take St. Agustine as an example... He was a very immoral person in his time, he spends his money on prostitutes and hores... He had sex 5 times a day.... one can say that he is very sinful...

But he changed and repent on his sins... He became a priest, a bishop and not long to become a saint.... now you see, saints you knew are once sinful...

Before posting in this blog, i once again read the life of St. Dominic Savio (my idol).... i was once again reviewed of the things he had done.... and i tell you this... if he was able to accomplish his dream to become a saint, why cant i?

I can become one....

Like St. Savio ...

I may not float in the air while praying
I may not miss from eating in exchange of prayer (of course, ill get hungry!)
I may not be the brightest person in class
I may not be respected (unlike the respect that Savio has gained)
I may not have a scapular that minimizes pain during labor
I may not come up with sayings that inspires (not like Saint Savio)
I may not influence all of my friends to be holy (im trying my best)


and lastly......

I may not be as impressive as St. Savio

but i can be... and i will be if i believe...

By doing my ordinary duties extraordinarily well, i think im in the right path, the path that leads to everlasting life, the path that leads to sainthood...

There must be some things that i have said, that you dont agree with... well.. if there are some... feel free to comment... tnx...
