Called to be a Saint

When we think of the saints throughout history, we think of greats like St. Francis, or St. Augustine. But they didn’t get to be great saints overnight. Being a saint is about making small decisions for Christ, over and over again. Saints are not made in miracle moments, but in the everyday drudgery of life. Make one small choice for the good this week. And then make it again next week. And again the week after that. And after a long life lived, you too will be a saint.
