Have I ever told you my brother is a Carmelite?

When we hear the word “saint,” we typically think of great spiritual heroes of the past like St. Peter, St. Teresa of Avila, or St. Francis of Assisi; all of these saints are immortalized (some would say calcified) in marble statues and stained-glass images. They are inspiring, but not always approachable. What we tend to forget is that every one of them was a living, breathing person just like us. They had hopes and dreams, fears and failings, as they made their way through the world seeking to follow Jesus as best they could, just like we do.
