Saint Alphonsa !

I don’t remember whether I mentioned it in any of my blogs about the pedigree of Indian Christians. But I had thought about it a couple of weeks ago. Christianity here has a tradition of nearing 2000 years (Saint Thomas, the apostle, arrived here in AD 52).

Today was a special day for the Christian community here in India. They got their second Roman Catholic saint (and first woman saint) from this country. From today, sister Alphonsa is Saint Alphonsa.

One more reason to stay where they are. One more reason to not to shop for another new brand of faith group or fellowship.

Hope this moment will make them proud.
