A response to: 11 Near Beatification
It is wonderful to see these religious and one lay person being put forward for beatification, but I find it very disconcerting the dramatic lack of lay people. I am sure there must be an army of lay saints in heaven, but there is precious little interest in them on earth.
Surely this must change.
We need more role models for lay people who we can relate to in respect of marriage, raising children, hard work, family life.
