They are Sts. Jude, Rita of Cascia, Philomena and a Gregory. With so many millions the world over praying to these big four for impossible cases despaired of where do I rank? Main problem: chronic tinnitus and let's throw in maybe a couple other problems while we have the divine connection. On one website of prayer petitions is a woman who wants a problem employee removed from the workplace. Where does tinnitus rank? Is it higher on the list? It's at least a medical/health issue and they're big on that although it can't rank as high as cancer of course. How do these four saints go through literally millions of petitions and decide which ones deserve their attention first? Do they have computers? They must have large staffs helping them. Excuse me I just got a text message......oh that's just another YPD Alert.
Bingo ball rolling cage?
ReplyDeleteLol. Here's another prob. Newspapers are filled with classifieds saying St. Jude answered my prayers but let's say yours weren't answered and it's been over a year now. What is it about THEM and what is it you don't have?
ReplyDeleteThe other things...unresolved unfinished business, fractured relationships, people who don't communicate...have to wait for my bingo ball:)
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Saints, I was sad to see that Saint Sava Cathedral in Manhattan burned down last week. That was a beautiful Cathedral.
ReplyDeleteI read about that. Tragic.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the specificity of saintly intercession, we note
ReplyDeletealso the reported efficacy of St Cornelius and St. Polycarp
of Smyrna for ear problems and that erstwhile saint of the impossible, St. Rita who is said to have cured tinnitus on
occasion. St. Brice of Tours is said to be good for colonoscopies.
Pondering life. Some people have 50, 60 year marriages others have multiple divorces. What I find overwhelming is life is too short and time moves too fast and much of that is consumed by working. There's not a whole lot of time to get it right. I'm looking for a kind of divine script in life but too many days are carbon copies of each other. Horoscopes often tell you to try something different (bungee-jumping?). However I'm not so bored I wanna become a woman;)
