On All Saints Day we look at the definition of a Saint.  Too often we rank ourselves, others, and the mother Teresa’s of the world, in some moral hierarchy based on our good works. I don’t find this helpful or aligned with the teachings of scripture.

We are looking at the very well known Scripture today referred to as the Beatitudes. But a major question remains when we read them: How are we to live in response to them?  Are they an action plan to becoming a Saint, or living a Godly life,  or something completely different?  What is the real meaning of the Beatitudes?
