This week has been filled with a variety of popular saints' feast days: from the
promising protection of the Guardian Angels, the bold, confident St. Therese of
Lisieux, and the simplicity of St. Francis of Assisi, to name a few. No two saints (or angels) seem to be exactly
alike, yet they all portray themselves as followers of Jesus in their own day
and age. How can we aspire to the call
to holiness? Need we be exactly like
them? So long as we follow the Teachings
of the Church, we don’t have to make the same steps of what it takes to be
called Catholic. Each and every saint
was drawn to varying devotions, careers, and not every follower assumed the
same vocation.
What is
your calling, in this striving to holiness?
How will you say “yes” to Jesus?
