For a very long time, the Church has reserved one day in which to honour all the saints, both those officially recognised and those known only to God. Saints are not seen as 'super' human beings, but as those people who realised the vocation for which all of us were created and to which we are ultimately called. We are not called to be another St John Bosco or St Mary Mazzarello - but to engage our own talents and temperaments, our own strengths and weaknesses, and to respond to the needs of our brothers and sisters around us. This Feast strengthens and encourages us to create our own pathway to sanctity.
