Even future saints spoke unawarely with other future saints about mundane matters. It is quite common to find the words of one saint-to-be written to another. The heroes of our Faith are not mere myths who have gone beyond us, like Greek heroes dancing in the night sky, nor are they historical curiosities, figures one might read about in some dusty tome of historiography. No, the saints are our family, and through the bounty of God’s eternal Love, we can speak to them and unite our prayer with theirs, so that together we can speak to the Father in praise and petition.Īt the same time, there is a mystery to sanctity, for we do not know who around us will be added to the canon of the saints.
