All Saints Day

All Saints icon

We have to become saints. We have to become like Christ. Anything less is simply not enough.

    Well she used 'saints' with a small 's,' meaning followers of Christ. But I think she means 'Saints' with a capital 'S,' meaning extraordinary or martyred. Actually, however, I don't no the meaning of what Ms. Rice has said here. My question would be, "We have to do these things or what? We won't have access to God's grace? We won't go to heaven? What does "We have to" mean here?

    I think she was just saying that it's important to take it all seriously and not just be nominal Christians. Or lukewarm Christians. Or complacent Christians. Or something like that...

    At least that was my take on it.
