“Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, saying: «There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man.Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, and “Get justice for me from my adversary’.And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, «Though I do not fear God nor regard man,yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me”. Then the Lord said, «Hear what the unjust judge said.And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?» (Luke 18, 1-8)
The best proof of the extent of our interest in something is the perseverance we apply towards getting it. If at the first setback we stop fighting for what we wanted, we didn’t want it very much. On the other hand, when something truly worries us, we persist until we attain it or until we see that it is absolutely impossible. If we do this with worldly things, why don’t we do this with Godly matters? Do we ask the Lord, with the same intensity, the saintliness that he labored, the surpassing of our defects which he succeeded in the studies? We tell him we want to love him, and it is true, but in practice we don’t devote the same interest as to our jobs, our friends, or rest and relaxation. Persist, then in asking sainthood and in putting the means to achieve it. This perseverance will be proof that we want to be saints, at the same time it is an act of confidence in God and in that he has the strength to achieve such a large miracle.
On the other hand, the emphasis has to be humble, knowing that we are asking a favor and not claiming a right, otherwise all you get with our pride is to offend those who ask for help, in this case God.
Intention: Ask God for our sainthood everyday in prayer and ask also for others, knowing that it is the main treasure. Provide the means to achieve it.
