October 5, 2009 (1Co 12:28-31) And God indeed hath set some in the church; first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors: after that miracles: then the graces of healings, helps, governments, kinds of tongues, interpretations of speeches. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all doctors? Are all workers of miracles? Have all the grace of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

ST. FAUSTINA AS A DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH
At the dawn of the 21st century, Sr. Mary Faustina Kowalska, the "divine mercy nun," was canonized as the first saint of our era - a remarkable commentary on a young woman who had died a little over 60 years earlier, in 1938. Her cause was methodically advanced by the intervention of Karol Wojtyla who, as Pope John Paul II, authored an encyclical, Dives in Misericordia (1980), in which he identified the theme of divine mercy as the major preoccupation of his papacy.Her canonization is a clear reaffirmation of her personal sanctity, influenced by her dedicated prayer life and her frequent conversations with Jesus and Mary. Her confessor instructed her to place her thoughts and experiences in a diary, which eventually ran to over 600 pages. Her admonitions have led to the universal establishment of DivineMercy Sunday, a chaplet areligious evocation of powerful intensity ("Jesus, I trust in you"), and also a graphic picture of Jesus Christ Taken together, they constitute a remarkable body of pious work.It is now time to consider granting St Faustina the rare title of "Doctor of the Church," which would be the first such designation in the 21st century. The Catholic Church has granted that distinction to only 33 men and women in her long history. Generally, there are three criteria used in naming a Doctor of the Church:1. holiness that is truly outstanding, even among saints;2. depth of doctrinal insight; and3. an extensive body of writings which the Church can recommend as part of the authentic and life-giving Catholic tradition. The 33 Doctors of the Church include such wellknown figures as St Augustine, St Thomas Aquinas, St Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, and St. Therese of Lisieux, who was proclaimed a Doctor by John Paul II on October 19, 1997. St. Catherine of Siena is the only other woman on the list. Some of the other Doctors are actually little known eve

n to many educated Catholics: St. Ephraem, St. Bede ("the Venerable Bede"), and St. Lawrence of Brindisi. MORE: Saint Faustina, a Doctor of the Church?- Many believe St. Faustina will eventually join the ranks of the great post-apostolic teachers FROM THE MAILBAG
VIA Roy: This proposal for St. Faustina to be proclaimed a Doctor of the Church should be of interest to readers. The more Doctors of the Church we have praying for our intentions to bring back God into all places from which He was removed, the more blessings He will continue to shower on us.We need all their intercessions on our behalf, and on our countries behalf as He always listen to His Saints who are much closer to Him in Heaven, especially so that He is our merciful Savior.So let us rally the support of all faithful Christians to pray for this important intention.Jesus told his Disciples that faith can move mountains and our people have already begun to rally to His cause with nearly a million souls demonstrating peacefully in Washington recently.We just can't afford to be complacement about this important issue in order to preserve our God given freedom and the freedom of others who are being oppressed by dictators.May God bless all those who have put their trust and confidence in His in these perilous times.
