CANONIZATION
In the early church – the local and
regional communities - were small
enough for canonization the old fashioned
way: proclamation by the people. “Oh
he’s a saint!” “She’s
a real saint!” “She
did so much for so many people. Neat!”
Surprise! That way is still around and it’s
so much cheaper and so much easier.
So, keep a picture
of your grandmother or
the nun who ran the playground in grade
school and keep a picture of her on your
bureau top and light a candle before her.
