Sunday Sermon

Every Christian is called to be a saint - this is true! When thinking of the saints, our minds often turn to those who have been canonized by the Church and who inspire a special devotion among the faithful. But every member of the Church should be leading the life of sanctity, every member of the Church should be striving to be holy. It is in the daily struggle, the daily fighting of the good fight, that saints are made. It is in the victory of grace over our own fallen nature - the doing of the will of God as opposed to our own selfish will - that we find sanctification. It is in daily self-denial, picking up one's cross, and following the Lord Jesus Christ that the sinner is lifted up by Him Who draws all things to Himself.
