Probably the most popular song in Louisiana is “When the saints come marchin’ in.” The one thing that is clear when you read the lives of the saints is that the ones “marchin’ in” reflect everybody. “I had a vision of a great multitude, which no one could count, from every nation, race, people, and tongue.” There are rich saints and poor saints, royal saints and peasant saints, saints who accomplished a great deal and saints who lived quietly in their cells. The one thing that the saints have in common is that they pointed beyond themselves toward God. A saint does not say “what do I get out of this” but seeks in all things to refer back to what God does for us.
