all saints anonymous…
if you think that i finally got over wanting to become a saint…think again…
i still, always have, and always will, want to become one…
now, today’s visit to a church gave me something new to be concerned about becoming a saint…let me elaborate…
as we were lining up towards the side altar so that we could venerate the icon of our mother of perpetual help (yes, i was in redem…), a small niche containing the statue of a young lady, probably in her twenties, wearing a pink dress and holding a palm branch (symbol of martyrs), suddenly caught my eye…not because of its sheer beauty, since the statue looked just like any other…it was instead the lack of an ‘identification mark’ on the statue that created a lingering question in me…’who in heaven’s name is she?’…until now, i still dont know…
and so, if i were to be beatified and eventually canonized, i most humbly ask you, my dear friends (and would be devotees…lol) that when time comes for you to make images of me, please do write my name on it…i dont want to be another figure in the altar that would make people ask:’who’s that?’…
