How many perfect lives have there ever been? The saints are not perfect. He even says in the writings of many of the saints of the church, they didn’t know what was right – the right things, they got it wrong, some of their theology was wrong. But they knew they were loved, and they were concerned to bring others to that same unique awareness. They were turned away from themselves towards the wellbeing of others. And the Pope says that we come to this experience of holiness, of discovering that we are holy, I would say, in very simple ways in daily life.
