Saints arent superheroes, they are regular people who just never left Gods side after encountering him and his love, Pope Francis said on the feast of All Saints. Being a saint is not a privilege of the few, like someone getting a large inheritance. All of us have inherited through baptism the ability to become saints, he said Nov. 1. Before reciting the Angelus with people gathered in St. Peters Square, the pope talked about Gods call to holiness. The saints are friends of God, he said. But they are not superheroes, nor were they born perfect. They are like us, each one of us. What makes them stand out, he said, is once they encountered Jesus, they always followed him. The path that leads to holiness has a name and has a face, its the face of Jesus Christ; he teaches us to become saints.
