Saints

I have a problem with saints. Especially with saints after the fifteenth century. As role models, aren't saints supposed to be like us. Carlo Acutis spent all his time at church while Therese of Lisieux was a nun. If that is the standard, then we are all doomed. I believe the Bible and saints of the first centuries are the best example of how to live a life. We are all sinners but to spend all your time at Church and not experience life that would be a shame. The Church has to do a better job of canonizing sinners who were able to turn their life around. I feel like God would rather see someone knew come into his house than the same person everyday praying for the same thing. I think that the people that the church is canonizing should serve as a cautionary tale that too much religion in your life can often blind you from discovering all the beauty in God's creation. The true saints of the church are the people who sinned but return to God not the ones spend all their time in Church offering their "suffering" for others.
