Another post regarding saints...

A saint is the one who puts others before himself. That doesn't mean doing extra-ordinary acts or dying a bloody death.

It simply means giving way to another at the grocery counter, leaving the best piece of meat for others at mealtime, or taking the job that nobody wants. We can be saints everyday if we want to. Because saints are not the one doing extraordinary or great things for the Lord, they are the people who did simple yet holy things for the Lord.

But Mother Teresa of Calcutta said, "Holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us. It consists of accepting and following the will of God."

But in my school, Don Bosco Technical College, has a different perspective. According to what I have learned in my school, To be holy, you must do your ordinary duties extra-ordinary. Now, whom will I follow? Mother Teresa? or St. John Bosco? For me, it will be either of the two. Because they served the same God. From the words of St. Agustine of Hippo,"God made us without ourselves but He will not save us without ourselves."

You don't need to be a martyr to become a saint.

You don't need to die in a violent way to become a saint.

You don't need to heal a sick person to become a saint.

Christ came not to be served, but to serve. Like Christ, we must serve others. We must serve not only the people who are in need, but also the people who doesnt need help.
