New Saints

Why not create saints according to our measurements of being a good person. With giving them a place in our all day lives like depictions or on prayer cards we can remember the values we want to achieve for ourselves, like modesty, being energetic, being honest, being gentle, childish or creative. One could even make private saints. An interviewed friend talked for example about the most modest woman of Eindhoven. He admired her for how she dealt with setbacks in her live and with her own expectations. He accidentally got to know her through a book she had written which he found on a flea-market and since then keeps contact with her.
