May you be especially blessed this Christmas Season!
“To the saints who are also faithful in Christ Jesus, Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ” Ephesians 1:1-2
With these, or similar words, the Apostle Paul always begins his letters to the Church. There is frequently a misunderstanding of the word, “saint.” Many people believe a saint is one who lives a “holier than thou” life and is to be revered.

She read this verse aloud to some of her younger grandchildren, and then asked, “What is a saint?”
