Hi, my name is Father Mike Smith and this is a essential present.

So one of the things that people will ask is about, like when it comes to holiness, because

I think when it comes down to it, a lot of people maybe even who are listening to this

are all about like, yeah, I mean, I kind of at the end of the day, I really actually

do realize that God wants me to be a saint.

We've talked about this before.

Leon Bluah had that great quote.

There's only one real tragedy in life, not to have been a saint and that reality that

we can get to the end of our lives and miss out on the point of having been created, having

been alive regardless of where they were alive for a moment or whether we were alive for

like a hundred plus years.

The whole point of the whole thing is to become a saint.

And then the big thing is like, okay, that's great.

Maybe you believe in that and that maybe you're like, he not just believing it, maybe

you're like, okay, totally, yes, that is it.

Like, choosing that thing.

But then we can be super intimidated and kind of overwhelmed by the, it seems like a massive

challenge.

Like, how am I supposed to do that?

But it's not that hard.

Number one, here's the reason why it's not that hard is because God wants you to be a

saint.
