How does a person become a saint?
Mother Theresa is the only saint known by most people. Why was she a saint? The number one reason was because she did not love money. She was completely ok with living around the poor and becoming poor by her own choice. She was humble enough to become like the people she was trying to help. She did not love things of the world. She always thought about saving people by loving them. She was kind to everyone.
What else makes someone a saint? Forgiving others. Turning the other cheek instead of getting revenge. Letting others take advantage of you and staying at peace. Hating what is evil but not attacking it all the time. Knowing when to remain silent. Being generous in any way you can think of. Giving away all your extra money and time and energy. Showing love to those closest to you. If you have the money to buy someone else groceries, do it. If you have clothes you never wear, give them to a homeless person. And then give them a ride to a bus stop and pay for them to get home. 😀
Letting someone in need live in your house for free. Always acting out of love and care for others. Finding joy in the simplest things. Staying at peace no matter what happens. Having patience for all kinds of people. Doing things in kindness. Living with everyone in gentleness. Having self control in everything you do. Not eating or sleeping too much. Living a respectable and non-selfish life.
Never looking down on others but always wanting to pull others out of their sin. Realizing that you used to be there and staying humble.
Now go be a saint. Or at least try to become a saint. 😀
