Become a Saint

We are called to become Saints.   People make and keep goals throughout their lives,  complete school, become a doctor, teacher, engineer, etc.  However, how much time and effort do we put into becoming a Saint?

Too often, people never take it seriously, however maybe it is not that difficult, if we put all our effort toward that goal. 

Recently, I came across two instances where people have implored others to become a Saint.  

1)  The morning Sister Lucia was to receive her first Holy Communion her mother said to her:

She told me what she wanted me to ask Our Lord when I had received Him into my heart, and said goodbye to me in these words:  “ Above all, ask Him to make you a saint.”

2) She is Catholic's Leah Chen, the creator of 80 plus youtube videos would often implore us to "become a Saint" as she signed off.

Let us make this our goal, let us not be minimalists.
