And I think most people know that saints are just people that we are confident are in heaven.
And we mentioned how we use first-class relics of saints during exorcisms, and that is basically a piece of the bone, sometimes a tiny bit of the person's hair from their head, or maybe if they were exhumed after a long time and there's just powder left, it would be a little bit of that powder left from the body if it's a particularly ancient saint.
Second class is something they owned, and third class is something that was touched to a first or a second class.
Some people are familiar with Saint Charbel, who has many, many miracles associated with him.
And I wanted to kind of get into a specific on a saint, maybe one that many people haven't heard the details about.
when we're thinking about saints, we're thinking about people, again, that we're confident are in heaven.
Now, remember that that doesn't mean there aren't many, many, many people in heaven, most likely, that the church hasn't declared saints, right? Those that have been declared saints are people where the Holy Spirit has moved someone within the church and then moved the bishop of that diocese to put forward what is called the cause for a person.
Basically, the consideration of that person to be given a series of titles in recognition of a life of heroic virtue.
Now, all the people that are saints that are in heaven We are allowed to privately assume that they're saints.
Can you please pray for me to receive more grace to know what to do or to deal with the situation? I can't go to other people and say, my dad is a saint, right? I'm allowed to privately assume that, but I can't publicly declare it.
