Fr. Justin Huang, a much-appreciated pastor in Vancouver, Canada, recalls that he decided to be a saint some time after he finished Grade 12. And that decision changed what and how he did things. Even now, he exclaims, “Whenever I think about being holy, I get pumped up! Everything changes when you have this vision.”
Mrs Constance T. Hull is a wife, mother and blogger who has gone through the furnace of suffering due to a dangerous auto-immune disease which affected her husband. She says, “when I first got married and I came back to the Church, I prayed fervently for God to make my husband, me, and any of our children saints.”
Like Fr Huang and Mrs Hull, all of us are to desire and strive to become saints. In fact, God invites us to be saints: “You shall be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy” (Leviticus 19:2; 1 Pt 3:16). Last month we looked at three ways to become holy, namely, be your true self; want to be a saint; become a clown. Here we shall speak of two other ways.
