I looked around church during Mass on Sunday and saw really saw that this place is not a museum of saints but rather, a hospital for sinners. Because I have been a worshipper in this congregation for many, many years, I recognize that some of the people that I once thought of or others might think of as "saints," myself included, ain't. I am far for sainthood, even though I am aiming for that.
I make mistakes. I get misled. I fall down. It is only through the grace of the cross that I can be there, that any of us can be there. I am not better than anybody there and nobody is better than I am. Church is a hospital for sinners. We don't really need a museum for saints.
