Vlog 199 – Saints My friend, many have a mistaken concept of what the saints are, and so many others don’t even have an idea of what they are, however, when they hear about them, or something that maintains a close relation with saintliness, they start shocking or mocking. What is a saint? What does saintliness imply? Saint, from the Latin sanctus, as you can see in the dictionary, means perfect and free from all guilt. Very brief, but very profound explanation, that says it all. My friend, saints, are those children, young people and men, who abhor sin, and not only avoid it, but do good always, for love and obedience to God. They are those who yearn for perfection and the Kingdom of Heaven, living in constant struggle to avoid sinning or make others sin. They are those who watch over and love God above all things, and their neighbor as themselves, as commanded by Jesus of Nazareth, God. My friend, be perfect, be saint!, for that God has given you life, and you have life, to fight for good, justice, peace and love; to deserve the place that Jesus has prepared for you in the Kingdom of God. Do you want? Be saint, for God! My friend, thank you. And always go ahead with faith. Victoria Bellido Durán |
