Presently he was discharged from hospital and taken in hand by the teachers of the blind, who taught him to play the organ. One day his sister came and led him back to his village-parish. Before the war, by his example, he was a danger to God and man; now he sets a very human example of sainthood, labouring without ceasing for others more fortunate than himself.
Hence, that process of intellectual gymnastics which so markedly characterizes the higher realms of Hindu sainthood and effort, on the one hand, and the altruistic fervour and outgoing charity of the ideal Christian, on the other. To the Christian, on the other hand, the dread enemy is sin that moral obliquity which differentiates the soul from the perfect ethical beauty of God.
These worthy men really made too much of his sentimental journey. Besides, the talk was getting a little out of his depth. He hardly followed it. "The worldly life still has some charms for me," he replied smilingly, as though to indicate that sainthood was not yet quite within his grasp.
Virgilius was made Bishop of Salzburg in 768. A suspicion of heresy clung to his memory until 1233, when he was raised by Gregory IX, to sainthood beside his accuser, St. Boniface. If the belief of errors not morally bad did no mischief, it would make no part of the moral duty of man to oppose and remove them.
Guthlac, written possibly as early as the eighth century, and literally translated by Mr. Goodwin, of Cambridge. Guthlac's throat, and install himself in his cell, that he might have the honour and glory of sainthood? But St. There we may read, too, a detailed account of a Fauna now happily extinct in the fens: of the creatures who used to hale St.
No bishop ever deserved sainthood more, or made a more practical contribution to the Church. Pope Celestine III. canonized him in 1194. Bernward came of a noble family. His figure may be seen as near an approach to a portrait of this great worker as we have among the bas-reliefs on the beautiful choir-screen in St. Michael's Church in Hildesheim.
But she was older than her years and quieter. She seemed to have an odd quality of sainthood, as if she must inevitably end in a convent with a white coif framing her face. But she had frequently told me that she had no vocation; it just simply wasn't there the desire to become a nun. Well, I guess that I was a sort of convent myself; it seemed fairly proper that she should make her vows to me.
In all degrees of people, from the bishop to the beadle, there seems a propensity in the mind to arrive at the honours of Sainthood: by joining our names in partnership with a faint, we share with him a red letter in the almanack. Out of six churches in Birmingham, three bear the names of the donors. St.
To say that she had the rich olive complexion, with the gold struggling through, large, lustrous black eyes, and harmonious features, is only to make a weak photograph, when I should paint a picture in colors and infuse it with the sweet loveliness of a maiden on the way to sainthood.
The Church was about to establish his miraculous sainthood, when, in the official process of collecting the necessary information, it was discovered that the supposed saint was a Manichean heretic, a Catharus, a believer in the wicked Demiurgus, the creating Satan, the defeat of the spiritual God, and the uselessness of the coming of Christ.
