Now is the time to become a Saint

Today, 03/21/2020 we face an extraordinary time and situation. Unprecedented in the history of the world. Never before had mankind experienced anything like Coronavirus19. In the past, when we faced something like this as a world of humans, travel, and communication were in no way as developed as today. This is both a blessing and a curse. The Chinese plague has now covered almost the whole world.

This is an unprecedented time in the history of the world. God made you to be here at this time and place. He has some specific work for you, something that He made before the world for you, and you alone to do. There is nothing random about you being born and alive today. You are here for a reason, to be a saint. God created you to be a saint, but not just any saint. These are very extraordinary times, and you are called to be an extraordinary saint.

People a thousand years from now will look back at the history of this time and say, how did they manage to keep their faith, help their brothers, and pray? Mass was suspended, churches were closed, the faithful could not receive the Sacraments, how did they become saints?

This is our time, our call, our work. To become the saints we were created to be. To set the world on fire with our love for our brothers and sisters.

Let everyone who sees us, knows us or encounters us in this time of disruption and worry know we are Christians by our love and compassion.

I am 61, a Catholic, trying to live a chaste life after being divorced. In late summer of 2016 I had an intense encounter with Jesus. Until then I was your average Catholic, going to Mass on Sunday, most of the time, Confession once or twice a year, and celebrating Holy Days sometimes. I know what happened, but I really can't explain it, other than to say I started to pray, just a little. The only real thing I can say is that if I was the man I am now, I wouldn't be divorced. I am not the same person, I now go to daily Mass as often as I can, spend time in Adoration every week, celebrate Confession every couple of weeks, and fast an pray. Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope you find something here that will help you on your faith journey. May God bless you in the name of Jesus. Your brother in Christ, Mark, the radical Catholic
