Thank you for sharing your comment on Don Dolindo's prayer, Elizabeth. Your spiritual intuition about his sanctity aligns with many others who've been touched by his profound spiritual legacy. Don Dolindo's unique gift for distilling complex spiritual truths into deeply personal expressions of faith, as shown in this prayer synthesizing the Psalms, demonstrates his intimate union with God.

Your comment about him being "already a saint to you" resonates with his teachings about waiting on God's timing. According to Don Dolindo, when our prayers seem unanswered, God is often preparing something greater – much like a mother who delays bringing water to return with something sweeter. During these waiting periods, God works with paternal care to prepare consoling events for us. The delay helps purify our faith and detach our prayers from earthly concerns, creating a continuous stream of grace.

Perhaps this is also true for the formal recognition of Don Dolindo's sanctity – the waiting period allows more people to discover and be transformed by his spiritual wisdom, like this beautiful Psalter-inspired prayer. His teachings continue to guide souls in understanding how God's apparent delays are often preparations for greater graces.
