My husband had a bad accident at work on Tuesday, December 4, 2007.  A forklift fell on him – broken and fractured ribs, bruised lung, dislocated collarbones, and fractured sternum.  Thank God, he’ll be fine. 


What I want to share is …. Why he’s still here

Communion of Saints
By Kathy Armijo


 



When I think of saints
I think of extraordinary people
Like St. Theresa, St. Peter, St. Paul, St. John
People who were humble and prayerful


Today, I was reminded
That all those who are in heaven
Are truly God’s chosen ones
They are the Communion of Saints


Do you think that it is only your guardian angel
Who watches over you while you’re in peril?
Or do you consider it pure luck
That you …


Know that all God’s heavenly family
Are the communion of saints
Here to protect and guide you
Always here to rescue


Some situations may be worrisome and life threatening
Truly mind and body unraveling
Then, more than one guardian angel is needed
To keep you from feeling forsaken


You need the communion of all the saints
This community – my departed sons, fathers, family and friends
Saved my husband from potential death and leaving me orphaned
Keeping me from being burdened


In all your sufferings and hardships
Forever purse your lips
Giving thanks to Him and the Communion of Saints
For rescuing you


Praise God!
Praise the Communion of Saints!
Shout this praise from the rooftops
Never let your tribute stop

Blimey. You must be catholic to write so perfectly...
St Theresa of Avila is a fav.
Praise God and all the communion, alive on earth or in heaven.
How sad it is that so many miss such a powerful truth. My heart goes out to an ex who has been stolen by the evangelicals. She feels guilty unless she is working till burnout for her so called pastor....
Who collects the dosh, whilst other do the collecting....

This is something I also believe. That those who have departed can intervene at times. Great. Even greater about your husband! Happy recuperating (won't be painless, as he knows)!

Kathy, I join in your prayer of thanksgiving. Such a lovely pen. The communion of the saints blesses us with those who have gone before, but this wonderful theology also includes believers alive --- it's so dynamic. We saints who are alive, join with those who have gone before to share in prayers of support.
