St. T of Avila DID say "...You guys are silly. St. T of Avila DID say "God save us from sad saints." Or something like that. By the way, I just read that Teresa of Calcutta needs one more miracle--So what happens if you ask SEVERAL heavy hitters for a miracle?

According to Butler's Lives of the Saint...Jay,<br /><br />According to Butler's Lives of the Saints:<br /><br />"Saint Martín de Porres (December 9, 1579—November 3, 1639) To help Martin serve the poor and needy, God blessed him with miraculous powers of bilocation, of being able to pass through closed doors (teleportation), and of levitation, according to Alban."<br /><br />Not an exact match for the telekenisis, but as bilocation still lets you do laundry *and* be in bed at the same time -- and as the kids certainly count as both poor and needy, I'm calling it a match anyway.<br /><br />As for finding kid's shoes -- that is definitely a sub-department of St. Anthony. As the latin for kids is 'pueri' and the latin for shoes is 'calcei', I'll coin the catchy term 'puerocalceilocation'. <br /><br />No copyright, free for your use.Jason Schalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615785207693382803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27290715.post-64326049252727190992010-06-03T20:13:11.130-07:002010-06-03T20:13:11.130-07:00Some people pay thousands of dollars to put silico...Some people pay thousands of dollars to put silicone in their bodies.

Not sure who the patron of Telekinesis is, but perhaps you know. <br /><br />I do not know if there is a name for the power to locate your kids shoes, but that would be very useful as wellJay Di Silvestrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27290715.post-61535990284709054802010-06-03T17:58:02.360-07:002010-06-03T17:58:02.360-07:00Happy to see another blog post...thought you might...Happy to see another blog post...thought you might have been abducted by aliens or something!<br /><br />Agree that a little silicone probably won't hurt anything. Who knows -- that combined with the radioactive glucose, etc might, in combination, cause you to develop some kind of mutant super power...<br /><br />In fact, maybe I will add that to my prayer list as well. Don't worry, I won't bother Bishop Portillo with it...maybe Chesterton? He certainly has the sense of humor for it and I think he's likely up there too. If you started being able to, say, see through walls or light things on fire with your eyes it would definitely earn him a statue on the St. Peter's collonade...<br /><br />So, let me know what specific mutant special ability you'd prefer and I'll start working on it.<br /><br />;-)Jason Schalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615785207693382803noreply@blogger.com
