Incredible saint. We know her history and wonder at her courage and heart, especially in those times, but in our daily lives we meet all kinds of ‘ordinary’ saints who do their best to carry out God’s wishes with humility and grace. Amazing, but that’s how He works so there’s hope for thee and me.
We all have a choice. Be a saint or ...
If we choose to be a saint and fall short, God' mercy will still cover us through the sacrament of reconciliation. If we haven't fully allowed God to purify the damage that we've inflicted upon ourselves at the time of death, He has given us the incredible grace of purgatory. If, on the other hand, we choose to reject sainthood...we've rejected God. And we all know where that leads us.
Bottom line is that we should look at each other as saints in the making...and pray for each other on that basis, along with asking the saints already in the Church Triumphant, like St Theresa Benedicta of the Cross, to add their prayers to ours.
