In NOLA - a football team, in the Catholic Church - a dead miracle worker, in the Lutheran Church - all Christians, in general - someone who leads an exemplary life, these are saints.
We may think someone is a saint when they are a good person, going beyond what many people do, behaving in a way that benefits others. Some definitions add that a saint is holy.
Sainthood is a goal for many who seek wisdom from God and then live with Him eternally. Some people just try to do their best according to their own judgment. Many in Louisiana look to their team to do their best.
Whether you cheer for, pray to, or revere someone who has done their best, realize you can also be a saint. Whether you are religious or not, just do your best.
