Becoming a saint is not reserved to a select few people

Philip Kosloski writes that holiness is not limited to a small group of people, but is a gift from God intended for everyone in their daily lives.

Writing for Aleteia on All Saints Day, Kosloski notes that while the Church presents men and women of heroic virtue as examples to imitate, many people feel excluded from such sanctity. He explains that God does not require individuals to replicate the specific lives of figures like Mother Teresa. Instead, holiness is something to be received from God rather than a quality built by human effort.
