​Day 222 - All Saints’ Day

ALL SAINTS' DAY

We tend to think of Saints as holy people
from long ago, detached from the world,
and living some sort of
strange and perfect existence.
 
It all seems to be millions of miles
away from our lives, but Saints had
their challenges and human weaknesses.
They were no perfect Saints.
 
There are Saints around us today,
doing good work and trying
to live their lives
in the best way they can.
 
For sainthood is not a badge
but the alignment of the needs of others
with our skills and commitment
in love.
 
We are all imperfect Saints,
journeying in our own time, in our world
and living some sort of
strange and perfect existence.
