On The Thinking of Saints

I believe that many people think that saints did not have to make choices in order to be holy. This is simply not true.

Saints of all ages had to respond to the times in which the lived and stand up for Truth.

If one looks at the lives of the saints, one sees a movement of suffering and turning towards God in that suffering. The lives of the saints are not precious. Saints were real people in difficult situations who constantly, daily chose to follow God over and over.

This is what we must do. The spiritual life is a battle. If one thinks getting to heaven is doing the minimum, that person is living in a deception.

Many people go to purgatory because they passed up daily chances to become pure and holy.

Choose.
