To be a saint…
Seize the little things of everyday life, ordinary life. To be a saint it is not necessary to do great things, but only to do little things greatly.
–Blessed Rafael Arnaiz Baron (1911-1938)
Saintliness depends on…
Do not think that saintliness comes from occupation; it depends rather on what one is. The kind of work we do does not make us holy, but we may make it holy.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
What makes saints saints…
Although we tend to think about saints as holy and pious, and picture them with halos above their heads and ecstatic gazes, true saints are much more accessible. They are men and women like us, who live ordinary lives and struggle with ordinary problems. What makes them saints is their clear and unwavering focus on God and God’s people.
–Henri Nouwen (1932–1996)
All must be saints…
All of us must be saints in this world. Holiness is a duty for you and me. So let’s be saints and so give glory to the Father.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
What makes a saint…
To follow God’s will with all one’s heart: that is what makes one a saint.
–Marcel Nguyễn Tân Văn (1928–1959)
Have God as the center…
If you have God as the center of all your action, then you will reach the goal.
–Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati (1901-1925)
