Every one of us is utterly and totally unique. It’s incredible. Just like every snow flake is unique. You put it under a microscope you’ll never get two snowflakes exactly the same. Doesn’t that say something about the immensity and the imagination of God? And all we have to do to be holy is to be our unique selves. So we shouldn’t imitate saints. We can be inspired by them, but inspired to be our own kind of saint. Every saint is a one-off. And holiness is not about knowing a lot of things. It’s about knowing one thing, one most important thing, which is: ‘I am uniquely loved.’
