For Michael

I would like to offer a few thoughts for Michael P. and the rest of us who wonder if we are called to be saints.

My first point is this: I think I am called to be a good priest. For Michael, a good husband and father. For the rest of us, probably more a combination of the latter (spouse/parent) than the former (priest). For all of us: good teachers.

The second point comes from Amy Welborn's web page that could offer us all some insight about sainthood: ""She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick"      RJA sj
