Pray For The Sainthood of the Servant of God, Mother Paula Sofia Tajber...

Why is it important for us to pray for our religious to become recognized as Saints? In my heart I believe they were placed by God to be his very special instruments in teaching and creating the proper upbringing of a faithful generation that would lift up society and lift up its people into great Christians.  

The Sisters and Priests are an living inspiration to us.  They were all given to us by God himself so that we can learn from them and immitate their good works.  The extra measure of grace that God has bestowed upon the religious, was meant for Gods unique purpose, "To expand the kingdom of God", to enrich the lives of men and women desiring to live a life of holiness knowing their true purpose in life was to offer their time, treasure, and talent, for the honor, glory, and service, of God. 

The sisters of the church became great teachers of the faith.  They spent their entire lives solely devoted to prayer, fasting, obedience, and service, mainly teaching and living out daily every good work in honor of Jesus and Mary.  They have taken a vow of obedience and have taught obedient faith to our youth, so that they could grow up in an environment worthy of Christ and His teachings.  And the sisters were sent out by God to do this great task in teaching by good example, our great faith, with great hope, and great charity.  

Their good deeds were all for Christs glory!  And anyone who was fortunate enough to be taught holiness by sisters in a Catholic school system, understood that their true devotion to Gods teachings, greatly enriched the lives of every child, blessed enough to be under their professional supervision, and care.

It was a time of respect and a time of obedience.  We lived in an environment  where we were taught discipline and how to be considerate toward others, and we knew our boundaries, and did not dare to step out of them.  There was order because there was God in everything.  God in our hearts, God in our homes and God in our schools.  And everyone lived a life in God. 

I believe that is exactly why there were so many Saints back in the day.  They saw the fruit in the vineyard, and it was very ripe.  They saw that every good work done, was for the greater glory of God and his children.  And they kept living in holiness and that holiness blessed them and blessed the society in which they lived in.  They were a fruitful people in many ways, for they chose to obtain the glory of God, while still living on earth. 

So many of the Saints who have gone before us, ended up opening hospitals, schools, churches, started religious orders, wrote books, leaving a very rich legacy to learn about and reflect upon as pilgrims individually journeying through our lifetime here on earth.  The Saints wasted no time whatsoever in fufilling their assigned duties, each and every day that God gave them to live out their true purpose.   

They knew of the rich gifts the Lord, and they wasted no time in accomplishing Gods will.  They chose to share their rich knowldege of the faith in blessing the next generation of Gods people.  Everyone prospered, it surely must have been an amazing time to see everyone benefitting by living under Gods law's!

I believe this upcoming generation wants to turn the page, and strongly bring back the traditions of our faith, in a powerful way.

Tradition!  It has meaning.  It has purpose.  It has God.  It has joy.  It has promise.  Everything good comes from God and when we return completly to God, there is a joy in knowing that we the flock naturally desire to be in the fold.  To be one again.  One in faith, one in love, one in knowledge, one--forever-- in Christ Jesus!
