Who is a saint?


Who comes to mind when you hear the word 'Saint?'

Is it the usual people that are mentioned in sermons and speeches - St. Augustine, St. Theresa of Avila, St. Francis, St. Benedict or St. Patrick? The list is endless, I guess. 

But have you ever considered that every saint has their faults and not one of them was without sin? I like the suggestion in today's quote, that being a 'saint' is actually something that we could be within reach for all of us (in a way). 

“A saint is not a person without faults, but a person who has given themselves without reserve to God.”Brooke Westcott

Thought: How do we give ourselves more fully to God today?
