Thought of the Day October 8, 2026 Desire to be a Saint
"I feel a longing and a need to be a Saint. I did not know it was so easy to be one, but now I see that one can be holy and happy too. I feel I simply must be a Saint." St. Dominic
Do you have a longing and a need to be a Saint? Isn't that the purpose of our existence? It is not just to live and die, but to live and die in Christ, so that you may be with him forever. What is the obstacle to being a Saint? Isn't it lack of love for God and being in the bondage of sin? Isn't a lie that says you can't be a Saint because you are unworthy? The first step to being a Saint is to repent and turn our life over to the Lord, to choose him above all and to live in and with him now in the present moment. The journey is hard only to those who say it is. But if my desire to be a Saint is real, then I, with the help of God's grace, will take the necessary steps.
