Who is a Saint?

(Comments welcome here)

  Darlene's background



 

                 

The big "S" saints and the small "s" saints are the men and women whom the Lord has "raised up" from their humble dispositions in life to be with Him and to follow Him. There are four Saint’s Feast Days upon us: St. Louis DeMontfort on April 28, St. Catherine of Sienna on April 29, St. Marie of the Incarnation on April 30, and May 1 is Mary Queen of Heaven. No one who exalts themselves has a place with the Lord and is a saint, but, the ones whom the Lord chooses from their lowliness, have an eternal place with the Lord.

These are the ones who build the Church with the Lord. These are the ones whom the Lord has graced with His power and authority. The saints do not put themselves in any privileged place or position, rather, they wait upon the Lord to raise them up and send them forth.

Rejoice with the Saints and I encourage you to get to know them, study their example, and follow in their footsteps.
