A Saint on Death Row

[MikeWaters]

I came across this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Saint-Death-Ro...4530_as_txt_2/

I read the blurbs there on Amazon.

I read this from the National Catholic Reporter:

Then I read this:

The bar for sainthood is awfully low these days.

I suppose if you just live your life, work hard, take care of your own, help others from time to time, you are a nothing.

But rob, steal, victimize, and kill? Now you are getting somewhere. And people will start to pay attention. Change just a little bit, and people will be crowing and mooning over you.

I am reminded of the parable of the prodigal son. We can rejoice at change in peoples' lives. We should.

But let's not forget to rejoice in the people who choose to do the RIGHT thing.

"There was a lot of people that got me to this point and I can't thank them all. But thank you for your love and support. They have allowed me to do a lot more than I could have on my own . . . . I have overcame a lot. I am not angry but I am disappointed that I was denied justice. But I am happy that I was afforded you all as family and friends. I love you all. Please just keep the struggle going . . . . I am just sorry and I am not as strong as I thought I was going to be. But I guess it only hurts for a little while. You are all my family. Please keep my memory alive."

No remorse is found anywhere in that statement. He just thinks himself a victim.

A Saint indeed.
