Spiritual Quote of the Day (Eamon Duffy, on Saints)

“The saints are also, importantly, beyond us, visible signs of a call to transcend the ordinariness of our lives, and evidence of the possibility of heroism and wonder.” —Irish church historian Eamon Duffy, Faith of Our Fathers: Reflections on Catholic Tradition (2004)
