I'm curious: Anyone else have suggestions for who else might qualify as a modern-day American saint?

We may not get to know many of them here on earth for they are the unsung, unhearalded heroes/heroines of the faith.
Though with little fame now, great will be their rewards!

The bible refers to all born again believers in Christ as “saints”.

Paul warned us against putting one over the other in deeds, or following one rather than another, emphasizing the importance of following Christ alone.

“sainthood” comes as a gift of God through His Son... not as a result of our own good works.

Saint? Not Obama. He aims higher.

What is the difference between Barrack Obama and G-d?

G-d doesn’t think he is Barrack Obama...

Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, John Roberts, and Samuel Alito are all good Catholics trying to save this country from the satanic forces of socialism. At least one of them has to make it to sainthood, although I hope no time soon. Got to keep them on earth as long as possible.

Given how much he is reviled, I think Thomas will be the first one beatified.

“My wife is a saint for putting up with me.”

This is certainly true of the saintly Mrs. Lurkin.

My husband, because putting up with three rowdy little boys for two weeks during a camping trip alone with Daddy should qualify ANYONE for sainthood! Especially when the seven-year-old managed to snag Daddy’s “fishing hat” with the hook while learning to cast, sending said hat out into the river where it had to be “retrieved.” Oops! :)

whoever is a "modern day saint" is most assuredly unknown except for the people that surround him....

there are countless doctors, nurses,priests,and yes, even teachers, and others who go the extra, extra mile,not thinking of how much overtime they might get or what is the legally most defensive position, but give constantly from their heart and souls for the betterment of other humans......

there are Catholic bishops and priests who have discarded the Kennedy Catholic attitude...that anything can be rationized no matter what.....and actually have taken a firm stand against abortion and homosexual "marriage".....
