Rome only took control of canonization in the 14th century.<BR/><BR/>Consistent with the older tradition, Mychal may be properly styled a "Saint". Even prior to his heroic death on 9/11, he was widely seen as a living saint for his deep spirituality and his extraordinary works of mercy.<BR/><BR/>The spiritual reality of Mychal’s sainthood is underscored by at least three medically documented miraculous healings through his intercession. In the end, God makes saints, not Rome.<BR/><BR/>Nothing is stopping us from praying to Mychal Judge today and asking for his help. And I can tell you from experience that he hears and responds.<BR/><BR/>For more info on Father Mychal, visit:<BR/><B>http://SaintMychalJudge.blogspot.com</B>Mychals Prayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007558689850864312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6599930245310706260.post-29743271303947100682009-01-23T15:42:00.000-06:002009-01-23T15:42:00.000-06:00It's too bad the Church no longer proclaims saints...It's too bad the Church no longer proclaims saints the way they did in the old old days before canonization became a political and financial charade.<BR/><BR/>Fr. Mychal would already be a saint because of the esteem in which everyday New Yorkers hold him. Instead we get St Josemaria Escriva the founder of Opus Dei.

Mychal a Saint however as you stated he ought to be made a Saint by the mere way he lived his life...struggling every day with the gifts of his imperfection. Yet I would argue that in fact that he is already a Saint cannonized by the Love of those he served and who he brought Hope to every day and that his death was much more a than just a continuation of his fight against terrorists but more to exemplify that TRUE love of Jesus Christ for eveyone especially his marginalized children. To Saint Mychal I will pray to interceed for all those remain in the margin of the Church and society, may he raise up our prayers to the One who LOVES us unconditionally as we are ALL created in his image.ridingthewaveofchangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18084413950104991321noreply@blogger.com
