..and the Priest said: I have just laid a Saint to rest How fortunate are those who are often called as living Saints!!
-He had a very holy death on 20 th November 1927. -Towards the end of sermon he collapsed on the pulpit. (See pic) -Upon his death all around the Seminary, people said, a saint has passed away. -Even before his funeral had taken place, the staff and the students from the seminary began picking up the few possessions from his room (see pic) Latecomers began cutting his nails and even hair to keep as relics. -At his funeral the then parish priest commented, I have just laid a saint to rest. -From then the people began to flock to his grave and even pick up mud from his grave only to mix in water and drink to be cured from various sicknesses.

Unlike Cars, A/c Rooms, Flats, Bank balances etc of the present ones. When people and the priests seen Him as a living Saint, dont know why He is not proclaimed a Saint even after His 80 years of death. I dont even know, as of now, what stage the process is. Whether.. -He is on way to Sainthood -He is half way to sainthood -He is almost there.. Or what it takes to become saint? Whether.. -Just prayers - Few more miracles - Money or influence - there exist racism at high level - locally, not enough being done Whatever it is, as for me, You are a saint already. SAIBA SANT AGNEL, GOEMCHEA MAHAN PUTA, MHOJEA OSLE PATKEAMCHOI UGDDAS KOR. HW: If you know or heard of anyone who you think is a living saint, let me also know. I wish to meet the Saint no matter where in the world he/she resides.
