I've been doing research online for a talk I'll be giving in August to religious educators in New Orleans (home sweet home!), and found... no kidding... a plastic "santo subito" wristband. Like the "livestrong" kind, only bright blue. $5. And special offers for fundraising groups. No indication that proceeds from bracelet sales go to the canonization process, though.
On a more pious note, today's first reading struck me in a new way. It recounts Abraham's hospitality to the three mysterious guests (who later go towards Sodom and ... you know the rest). When Abraham ran to meet them and begged them to accept his welcome, the "spokesman" of the three replied, "Let what you have said be done." That's GOD saying a "fiat" to MAN.
