The Relic display.

Last night, Paul, Dad and I went to this relic display at another church. There were 168 relics. A lot of people were bringing these holy objects, such as rosaries or scapulars, to make into third class relics. But the weird thing was people were bringing pictures to the relics! That was weird. There was one cool thing, I was venerating one of the relics and this other lady was standing next to me was venerating the relic of St. Catherine of Sienna, I said to her "The old associate pastor at my parish loved St. Catherine of Sienna," and she said "St. Catherine of Sienna's feast day is on my birthday." I said "This saint's (the relic I was venerating)  feast day is on my birthday too." Below is a list of the saints' relics

When I was venerating the relics, I picked them up and put it on my shoulder and prayed please let my arm get stronger and I think it worked, I went outside threw a dozen Footballs and I got Paul to see how fast it was. 32. When Dad gets home from work I'll ask him to measure it. Look for it right here, Sports Nexus!

  1. Yes, God does hear even our small requests for temporal favors. But 168 saints! Better to pray for things that have eternal benefits (and for others)!
