“what is a saint 2 u” ?

Saints have invaded our psyches for centuries. As ubiquitous as angels, some believe they protect, guide and inspire. But what about lesser known saints? Those among us who may not be martyrs, or religious, or even believers, but who conduct their lives according to their own moral principles toward a common goal of compassion. Is a saint simply a reformed sinner with a gift for transcribing the words of the divine who directs us to Heaven? Or is a saint one of us? Someone who feels lost and alone at times, but who trudges along nevertheless because of a commitment to something better for everyone. A friend, a brother, a coworker who helps a stranger not for glory but out of grace. In 2008, songwriter Michelle Mangione teamed up with rock legend Grace Slick to write some lyrics, and from their writing emerged the song “What is a Saint”.

I think everyone has the potential to be a Saint. Especially in these rough times, I know it is hard to give, when there isn’t much attained. But it is at these times when it really matters, how much of a difference you can make in someone’s life. This song should be our anthem in our lives and around the World. What an amazing sight it would be, if we all could unite together in love and kindness, without the expectations of a reward? This song says it all and Michelle you are AMAZING!! Thank you for giving us all a REALITY CHECK!!:)…
