We read a lot about the lives of the saints, and right from the beginning I was trained to look at them as models to follow, not realizing that they had become saints because they had served the Catholic Church.

Right, no Saint of the Church has ever fed, clothed, or helped the poor because they love Our Lord.

Well Mother Theresa is an interesting case study in that.

Others do that, too. Most with no public recognition. I got an email from the SB Mission board. They are still helping the people of NY hit by Sandy and are asking students to volunteer during Christmas vacation or this coming spring and summer. I had no idea they were still up there. In fact, I had not heard of their still helping those in need.
