Saints are not only found in the official records of the church; they live among us. They are our brothers and sisters who take Jesus’ teaching on the beatitudes and live it fully. They are the peacemakers, the poor in spirit, the humble, the merciful, and those who challenge our often comfortable lifestyles. We have a cloud of witnesses who stand before us, both in eternity and here on earth, who inspire us to go the distance and fully live the Gospel, even when it is difficult or hurts. They, by example, give us the courage to forge ahead through the most challenging of circumstances. With their inspiration and God’s grace, we can do incredible things.
