The Will to Rise Again ... and Again ... and Again Saint - TopicsExpress



          

The Will to Rise Again ... and Again ... and Again Saint Augustine was very bad, even depraved. But he said to himself, “Augustine, many kinds of persons become saints. So can you.” He became a saint because he wanted to. Once the sister of Saint Benedict, Saint Scholastica, asked him what one must do to be a saint. All he told her was, “One must will it. Nothing else is necessary.” ... we must rise again and again. If anyone should say, “Enough! I can do nothing more,” he would only reveal his pride that prompts him to trust his own strength. Meanwhile our strength comes from God’s grace. ... The degree of perfection is measured by the amount of adversity we overcome in order to be holy. Let us completely confide in the Immaculata and give ourselves to her without reserve. Then we will quickly—very quickly—become saints. - St. Maximilian Kolbe, Martyr of Charity
