“Let us consider it well, just as every day hundreds of people are brought to the Church by the heroic life of some of us, so hundreds every day are repelled from the Church by the non-Christian life of many who call themselves Christians, even Catholics. If we consider the intercession of a saint or the influence of a soul favored by God as a special grace from heaven, then we can equally consider it a disaster if such saints do not cross our path of life, if we miss the sweet influence which a chosen soul could exert on us. All Catholics should be so saintly that God through them could sanctify millions, just as He would have saved cities like Sodom and Gomorrah for a few just men.”

Bl. Titus Brandsma
