As Fr. Pat pointed out at Mass this morning, this means that there are saints that have lived and who currently live among us who are saints as well. I am blessed to say that I could name quite a few.
Saints are the people in our lives who recognize the need to spread God's love to others and then act on that need. You know them as the people who provide that extra smile or hug when needed, the people who keep us grounded and focused on what really matters. They are the people that take time to really connect with others, and, amazingly, they are the ones who always seem to have enough time to get everything done well and in meaningful ways.
These people walk among us and sit beside us every day.
Take some time and reflect tonight:
Who are the saints in your life that you are celebrating today?
What are things you can do to be more like saints to those whom you meet each day?

Here's a little meditation music for you - quite appropriate for today's feast, if you ask me. (And, I have to admit, it totally made my morning when they sang this at Mass!):
When the Saints Go Marching In (Louis Armstrong)
