According to the Catechism of the Catholic
Church, Second Edition (823), “Church is “the holy People of God,” and her
members are called “Saints.” We are also called to have a heart that burns with
love, love for God, love for ourselves and love for our neighbor’s. There are
many definitions explaining the term “Saint,” but I say to be a Saint firstly, one
must be patient through suffering, because our faith gives us incredible strength
to face many challenges. Secondly, to be a saint we are called to make great sacrifices,
and this can be difficult to do so, especially if we have strongly desired
something for a long time.
I truly believe that we all have the strength and
determination to be saints, to be a family of saints. As I shared on Monday, “For
God everything is possible” I am not sure what that could mean but I have a
fair idea that God is saying, I will bring light into your darkness, peace into
your troubled life, calm your wild sea and take your weaknesses and do the
impossible. “The Saints did not all begin well, but they all ended well.” St
John Vianney.
Therefore, a saint’s life is inspiring and
through their lives we learn to grow closer to our creator, our Father and God.
For he is our companion, cheerleader, audience, and friend through difficult
times.
Women of Faith and Hope, by My Mother Rose, it’s your
choice to reflect God’s wisdom and goodness. The act of faith is an act of free
will when God calls us to serve him in spirit and truth it’s your choice to
answer with a yes or no because faith is a gift from God. Strong is God’s love
for us all, he is mighty powerful and faithful forever. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.
