Today, the first Brazilian saint was canonized:
The well-known Sister Dulce, now Saint Dulce of the Poor,
She had an interesting craze: she talked to a saint.
As a child she received from her mother before she died a medal with the image of St. Anthony.
In the convent where she worked there was an image of the saint with whom she used to talk and complain.
People say that he fought with the Saint when he could not help the thousands of sick and poor she cared for throughout her life.
After talking with the saint, they say, she always got what she wanted.
And so from conversation to conversation and from request to request she has helped and still helps thousands of needy through her social works.
This customary conversation with the Saint led me to be sure that we should have frequent conversation with our loved ones in heaven with the certainty that we are heard and our children are, yes, close.
Sister Dulce did not separate earth and heaven, and thus gained heaven.
We should do the same.
