We have a tendency to want to put Saints on pedestals and try to become perfect like they were, but the reality is that none of the Saints were perfect. Their greatest perfection was the weakness they overcame. When we are weak, we are made strong. When we offer our weaknesses to God, He can transform them. We are reminded that salvation does not come from ourselves or the good things that we do or the perfection that we try to obtain in this life. Salvation comes from our God.
