Saintliness
“You want to be a saint [insert your own name here, or better yet insert my own name], but you want to be a saint on your own terms. You want glorious victories with your sword, most of all, you want victories over your personal weaknesses and faults.”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“It is a good desire, but it can also be a kind of idealism masking pride… Who is the saint? The one who obeys God in his weakness, or the one who demands to have every admirable quality before he sets forth on his quest?”
