Ordinary saint

Who is a saint?

An overman or a superman?

No, definitely not,

He’s like us, a simple man.

Is he a simple man?

Or is he blessed extraordinarily?

Not always, but he’s one who,

Does ordinary things extraordinarily.

How does he do things extraordinarily?

From where does he get the power?

This power comes from our Lord,

Who is with him even in his last hour.

How can a person become a saint?

By living a life based on love?

Surely, living life this way,

Is like doing service to the One above.
