To become a saint, you don't need to do big things...
but little things well. (Mother Teresa)

Examples:
A single mother, who struggles to raise her children in a way pleasing to God.

A person, who is confined to a bed or wheelchair, and continues to love and trust Jesus.

A person, who refuses to follow the crowd and keeps God's commandments.

These are called Hidden Saints. On Judgment Day they will no longer be hidden. Here are some suggestions to bring you closer to Jesus:

• Love God and give Jesus first place in your life.
  
  
• Love your neighbour as you love yourself.
  
  
• Make time for daily prayer and the rosary.
  
  
• Receive the Blessed Sacrament as frequently as possible.
  
  
• Do whatever you can to help those in need.
  
  
• Preach Jesus Christ by word and by the way you treat others.
  
  
• Form a devotion to Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
  
  
• Trust God always. Don't give up when life disappoints you.
  
  
• Reflect joy from knowing Jesus loves you.
  
  
• Practice a constant awareness of God's presence.

Your life will not be problem-free. But if you seek Jesus with all your heart, He will be there to strengthen and guide you.

At the end of your journey you will hear Jesus say: "Well done good and faithful servant. Now enter into my kingdom." And your joy will have no end.
