POPE QUOTE:
"Dear friends, again and again
the very notion of saints has been caricatured and distorted, as
if to be holy meant to be remote from the world, naive and
joyless. Often it is thought that a saint has to be someone with
great ascetic and moral achievements, who might well be revered,
but could never be imitated in our own lives. How false and
discouraging this opinion is! There is no saint, apart from the
Blessed Virgin Mary, who has not also known sin, who has never
fallen. Dear friends, Christ is not so much interested in how
often in our lives we stumble and fall, as in how often with his
help we pick ourselves up again. He does not demand glittering
achievements, but he wants his light to shine in you. He does
not call you because you are good and perfect, but because he is
good and he wants to make you his friends. Yes, you are the
light of the world because Jesus is your light. You are
Christians--not because you do special and extraordinary things,
but because he, Christ, is your life, our life. You are holy, we
are holy, if we allow his grace to work in us."
