4. Value of saints to our life



For happy life you need friends and leave them with death,but if you have a saint friend,he is forever!.

5. Beautiful process of Canonisation


Canonisation is an official decree of the catholic church. It is definitive judgement of the Pope, that a person is now listed among saints in Heaven. Through Canonisation, the pope makes a formal declaration that the immortal soul of the person in question is now with God and with His eternal glory. Hence we look on saints with great respect and admiration. The saint is given as an example because of their Virtues. Beatification is a step in the canonisation process. If a person is beatified, he has been thoroughly investigated by the church, a miracle has been attributed to him, and he has been given the title Blessed. The catholic church canonaises or beatifies only those whose lives have been marked by the use of heroic virtue.(Good work that greatly out distance those of ordinary good people). In order to be heroic, it must be done with pure & honourable motives, quickly & thoroughly. A heroic virtue is a habit of good conduct that has become second nature to a person- not just a good deed here or there, like helping an old lady across a street . HEROIC VIRTUE HELPS AN ORDINERY PERSON TO ACCOMPLISH ORDINARY THINGS IN AN EXTRAORDINARY WAY!. Does any other christian denomination have SAINTS or this kind of process?

9: New concepts of God with Jesus

Mary's role: A creature was asked by the CREATOR, if she would freely cooperate with God's plan to take humanity out of mire,Mary accepted. This is the new concept of christianity! Your free will is only thing that belongs to you. God will never interfere to your free will. In order to find God's will for you, you should have a Peaceful mind without worries. Then U will get to know His will thru' various means. Then you can either Accept or reject His will.
New concept is(1)God willed to send His son thru holy family(2)God willed that thru' Mary/saints to relieve our fear & sorrow, similar to our earthly friends. Unfortunately only catholics know this not our Protestant friends!.
