Saints' lives can have curious effect on us. It is hard to read much about Francis of Assisi, for example and not find ourselves being tempted, if only for a fleeting second, to drop everything and serve God and neighbor as he did without reservation. Whether famous, like Francis, or known only to us, like a favorite aunt or godparent, saints change us simply by existing. For All the Saints. Invite members to share names and experiences.
Saint is someone special.
A saint is someone whom God makes holy. It is someone God has made his child. It is through our baptism. God gives us that promise in baptism. Through our baptism - gift of love and forgiveness that we are to share with others.
