Some Christians lived in such a special way that those who met them had the impression they were encountering Jesus himself, so to speak. Their ‘heroic virtue’ was not mainly found in the things they said or did, but in their way of life.
It is as if they were always connected to Jesus, in everything they did. In this way they allowed the Holy Spirit to help them live as good Christians in faith, hope and love. They became an example for all other Christians, and are called ‘holy’ or ‘saint’.
