I have always been jealous of how many of the saints were able to get a thousand things done in a day, do so on 2-4 hours of sleep, and when they weren’t praying they were able to learn more stuff in a few days than a normal human could in a few years.  Of course, they were able to do all of this by the grace of God and through their daily reception of the Eucharist,  but for the rest of us who are struggling just to find time to pray one rosary a day – I thought a little cheating might be in order.

To me, there had to be something lacking in secular methods of productivity. Read the full story

Last time, we saw how Saint Thomas More got most things done before we even had a chance to wake up. Now we are going toward the opposite spectrum. In honor of the feast day of Saint Therese (on October 1st), I thought it fitting to see how she got things done.  While her approach was different, it was still just as powerful and allowed her to change the face of the world as we know it.

One of the things that bothers me so much about all of us Catholics is our false view of how we are to become saintly.  The majority of practicing Catholics seem to spend most of their time trying to be theologians and philosophers, rather than being who they were naturally created to be.  Well, I have news for all of my brethren and sistren: the saints were saints because they did what God created them to do, not because they were theologians.
