Patron Saint Medals - Christian Symbols In A Secular World
In today’s modern and very materialistic world, patron saint medals proclaim a belief in a far different world, one that is heavenly and holy.
The values of the modern world cannot comprehend the devotion and supplication to persons who lived long ago, whose time on this earthly plane is long since past. This is because the modern man or woman cannot grasp the meaning of holiness or the reality of righteous lives lived in submission to God.
Such faith is considered to be nothing more than pie-in-the-sky superstition.
But for centuries, the faith in saints and the spiritual world they inhabit was as commonly accepted as the faith in the cycles of nature.
No one doubts that moon and stars will appear in a clear night sky.
With the same assurance, much of the world in times past believed that a righteous person lived on beyond the grave in the heavenly realm, where, according to their degree of holiness on each, they possessed special graces of intercession before the throne of God.
The secular world, mired in self-serving pleasures and pursuits, is unable to accept the fact that our lives on earth have a purpose that points to an eternal life beyond this earthly one. Such a thought is too confrontational.
Wearing patron saint medals proclaims the belief that others have indeed lived holy lives in complete submission to God. And, furthermore, their submission was so total that from heaven they are able to dynamically interact with those of us who offer them honor and veneration.
Patron saint medals - these symbols of faith and devotion - will always perplex the secular world, while serving as a reminder to the faithful of their connection to the graces of heaven.
