Thanks be to the Saints who gladly and joyfully accept us into their company and fellowship. I have felt a kindred spirit with giants in the spiritual world---Teresa of Avila, Therese of Lisieux, C.S. Lewis, Karl Rahner, Edith Stein---and they do not reject or laugh at my presumption, but tutor me along the ways of the Spirit. This shows their great humility and purity of heart, their absolute love of God, that for His sake they do not laugh at my ignorance and weakness, but encourage me to come along with them on the way to God.
For their sake, in gratitude for their kindness to me, I will also encourage those around me on their journey. May God forgive us our lack of patience and compassion for one another and teach us also the purity and humility of the saints.
