Story-day is for cultural exploration, puraanas and
parables and finding out about leading lights in spiritual philosophy.
This
is a short clip about St Francis of Paolo, whose feast day is today. The
plethora of spiritual luminaries on the Catholic list for April is quite
something… this day alone holds 24 names! We can often hold up famous saints
and sages as examples, but also, due to their extreme spiritual abilities, say
when we fall short ourselves, that we are no gifted with what they had. The
extraordinary number of saints and 'blesseds' says that any who dedicate
themselves can rise to spiritual highs… most will go unrecognised, but that is
irrelevant when it comes to our individual relationship with spirit.
