There are more than 10,000 recognized Saints and numerous unknown saints in the universal Catholic Church. To become a canonized Saint, one does not need to climb on any mountain peaks or swim across any deep oceans. By just accepting the life granted by the Lord and living it in accordance with His Will, that is by following His Loving Commands, anyone (including you and me) can become a saint easily and effortlessly!
While there are many Great pious people who attained Sainthood by leading rigorous and penitent lives before us, we also have some ordinary persons like St Therese of Linux who became a great Saint by leading a normal life, but remembering and loving Lord Jesus Christ frequently and doing everything for His Love and Glory..!
Even in our days also there are many people around us who are leading virtuous lives by doing the normal works that we too do. 27-year old Kochi-based Ajna George who left for her heavenly abode recently on January 21 also was a person who led a righteous life maintaining close rapport with Lord Jesus Christ!
Ajna George was an active member of the Jesus Youth movement of Kerala which aims to gain the souls of youths for Christ. Like any other youth, she also did her graduation and post-graduation and joined as a teaching faculty in Sacred Heart College Kochi. But the cancer with which she was fighting did not permit her to do her job.
She offered gladly all her pains for the love of the Lord and salvation of souls. Diseases and bodily pains did not prevent her from loving Jesus Christ all the more because her wish from childhood was to remain holy ever in the Love of God.
Ajna George is an asset to the Indian Church. She is a special gift to the Jesus Youth Ministry as it is expected that her exemplary life will inspire many of its members who are taming such a desire to become saints in that organization.
When Ajna's case is opened for the 'causes for the canonization of saints' she will be known and called as 'Servant of God Ajna George' before she is declared as 'Blessed'! And soon we can expect the Church to elevate her as a saint when the required number of miracles happen through her intercessions!
Here is the official website dedicated to the cause of Ajna George. Please check it for more details, images, videos, funeral services, etc:
