"Holiness should not be something distant from us. Since the start of Pope St. John Paul II’s pontificate, the Church has recognized more saints than ever. This serves to highlight the sanctity present in all ranks of the faithful and to inspire more people to realize that holiness is within the reach of everyone.
"In fact, on May 20, the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints recognized the heroic virtues of 9 more people, including priests, nuns, and laity from around the world, thus declaring them venerable. Among them is a young Brazilian, the now-venerable Guido Vidal França Schäffer."
In a recent post, writer Ricardo Sanches reflected on the life of Guido Schäffer and on how his life is proof that holiness is for everyone.
