Becoming Saints?

Hi all,

As I was pondering over the homily of Novena service at Novena church (St Alphonsus' church) last Saturday, it was about how we can become the saints. As Mother Teresa said, we really don't need the high IQ, higher studies like degree, master, phD, fame and money to become the saints. Just simply pick the pin on the floor so that the children will not hurt their feet when they run across the corridor. It meant that we have to do lesser things but with great love. That's how we can be the saints. Really. Just act your normal life but do anything with great love. Ask God to give you the great love. That was what the priest (I don't know his name) preached. He also said he always did simple things like preaching in the church with great love. He could not say, "Aiyah, it's so tiring and boring. Just do it fast and quick." but did it with much zeal and eagerness. If he did it without love, he's like the machine. It reminds me of some verses: "1.I may be able to speak languages of men and even of angels, but if I have no love, my speech is no more than a noisy gong or a clanging bell. 2.I may have the gift of inspired preaching; I may have all knowledge and understand all secrets; I may have all the faith needed to move mountains - but if I have no love, I am nothing. 3. I may give away everything I have, and even give up my body to be burned - but if I have no love, this does me no good." (1 Cor 13:1-3 Good News Bible)

As I was discussing with my friend about it today, he showed me the story. Thought it might be good and inspiring story for you.
