St. Alphonsa (Part 1)

The Newly Cannonized

St. Alphonsa

K.. because I did St. Callistus yesterday and there wasn't much info on the rest of today's saints, i decided to try St. Alphonsa's life.

Honestly the only stuff I knew about her was from that Serial (tv show) they made about her life on Asianet (I think). Anyways my parents watch it and what I got from there was that St. Alphonsa was:

-Super Obedient

-Very compassionate

-Helped out others even if she got in trouble for it

I don't know why, but I didn't even think about looking up her life online. But today, when I came home I thought of looking her up and I found out there's more to her! But we'll leave that for some other time because I haven't had the chance to live it out.

So living out St. Alphonsa (part 1)

1) I tried to be humbly obedient to my parents.. wow.. that was an enlightening experience...

I never realized how much I raise my voice at my mother. Like you know, Indian parents... sometimes you have to repeat things or they don't fully understand something.. and I just got fed up, SO EASILY. And after I would raise my voice my angel would tell me "Tut tut, St. Alphonsa wouldn't do that!" So I'd try to calm down and stuff.

Being obedient is so hard =/... I still have to put away my clothes haha.. determined to do it before I sleep at least...

2) Compassion - I don't feel like I lived this aspect out as much as I could have. It honestly slipped my mind today. There we're some instances where I would normally laugh at a friend or make a sarcastic remark about them that I reminded myself not to.. learned to bite my tongue a bit haha. 

Overall, I'm kinda glad I found out more about St. Alphonsa because it gives me an excuse to redo the experience ^ -^.

I'll be honest - I could've done better...
