The Call to Be Saints


                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?
