I have a particular devotion to the Martins, mere and pere.
I was tickled when Benedict beatified them.
Talk about God drawing straight with crooked lines, or answering your prayers in ways better than you could have ever dreamed, or opening a great big gorgeous room-for-the-whole-family-to-go--through window after shutting a door, or whatever hopeful cliche you like!
No, sorry, not smart enough for the vacation, too needed at home to allow you to enter here, too this, not enough that - you'll just have to get married and raise a whole family of religious, a whole family of saints.
It is very wonderful, very comforting to know that there is a saint in heaven who especially cares about you.
I am quite sure of it.
