You Can Be a Saint. Here’s How.

The Church is filled with wonderful examples of holiness and sainthood, and they can act as guides for us on our way to Heaven. But a lot of the time, we look at these great saints and think, “I could never be like them,” when in fact, sanctity is more accessible to us right now than we could ever even imagine. We know we should be striving to be saints, but what does that look like for people like you and me?

Today, Fr. Mike shares how we can work towards sainthood every day, without feeling like we’re chasing an impossible dream.

I'm only 17 years old i want to be holy person and perfectly like god i know it's hard to live this journey to become saints i don't want to wait until i'm getting older and start to living with holiness so it's much better to start the journey at the young age before it's getting harder in the future later and i hope many people who are in the young ages will start the journey and god bless ❤

I thank God for priests like Father Mike who are leading souls to our Lord every day! My prayers are with you all.

Our Blessed Mother said the words to lead us to salvation at the wedding at Cana..."Do whatever He tells you to do". So simple, so beautiful, so truthful.

This is why Our Blessed Mother is the greatest Saint; she incessantly said yes to God without wavering! JMJ

Thanks Fr Mike

Do good and avoid evil. Spread God's love ❤️ where you are. Sanctity is available for all. If you are a student study. If you are a doctor beva good doctor. If you are a father provide for the family, . If you are a mother take care of your children and teach them values, etc Not all are called to do great things, it is reserved to a few. Just do small things with great love, as Mother Teresa of Calcutta did. Holy Family loves you 💗 💓 Jesus, I trust in you

“just say yes to God and never stop saying yes to God” ❤️ Come Holy Spirit 🙏

Father Mike - you inspired me to go to confession today for the first time in 30 years. Thank you!

Fr. Benedict was wise. I loved his talks on EWTN. You never know who càn bring you closer to God. Gods Will be done on all our lives.

"To do God's will as He wills it" is a powerful commitment, but one commits because of love. There will be many challenges, our world would turn up side down, but as we go through the experiences, we will see the miracles of God's work. To me, a Saint is someone who continues to give, to help others, when others stop.

[CamiloSoares]

St Therese of Lisieux did exactly this. That's she's the perfect doctor of the church for our days

[JeffSaleBoat]

The simplest, all encompassing prayer that I can think of: Lord, help me become a saint and with your Holy Spirit make many more.

[GraceElaineSings]

Be a saint--what else is there? (Love this Patrick Coffin quote!)

[joanhaselman]

Thank you, Father Mike, and there is another quote by a priest whose name I forget and can't find, but he DID say, "If I should fall 1, 000 times a day, then 1, 000 times a day, I will say 'Now I begin'. " We ought never give up, no matter how old we are or what our past is, if we are alive, God is SO MERCIFUL, we can still become Saints.

[mariadorantescastillo]

Yes father Mike, I’m going to do God’s will as he wills it because he wills it. Thank for your today’s teaching. I did my police interview today because I want to become a Police officer. I know i just feel it’s God’s will. I’m waiting to hear back from the department ❤️

So lovely. I was told a saint is a sinner who never stops trying 💗 Such wonderful, gentle, loving nuns of the Dominican Convent in Cabra, Dublin 7.

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Amen.❤🙏🙇‍♂️

[michelleferrao]

Thank you Fr Mike 💫
A Saint is someone who says yes to God and never stop saying yes to God.🌟
God's will in our life is in the midst of our life.🌠🌻
