| Tens of thousands gather for a Canonization Mass in St. Peter's Square. |
A celebration day that is near and dear to my own heart, today Pope Benedict XVI officially recognizes seven people as Catholic Saints, two of whom lived and cared for others in our own United States (and one who was martyred for his Catholic faith as a teenager!) One of the two Stateside Saints, Saint Kateri Tekakwitha is a patron of ecology and a Catholic summer camp in Williamsburg, KS where I grew up learning to pray and play along with the more than 22,000 youth who went to Camp Tekakwitha over the years to celebrate our Catholic faith and the outdoors.
Read about the Canonization (from WashPo) and learn more about the lives of the saints!
May we each live our own lives with heroic love, worthy of the call we have received by God, as living Saints praying and serving one another in joy!
