We all need to have examples to follow and have people to identify for them to show us how to do things, according to the bulletin from St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church.

"There are those among us and those who have gone before us who serve as these models and witnesses. They are ordinary people who in their 'extraordinary ordinariness' capture our attention and allow us to see things more clearly," the church wrote in the bulletin. "These are the prophets, martyrs, teachers, witnesses, heralds and innovators who bring a single-minded devotion to God to even the simplest of tasks they perform."

These people become vessels for Divine justice, mercy and presence with their good examples and help to remind others of the values needed to enter the Kingdom. 

"All of the saints in heaven and on Earth form this cloud of witnesses who journey with us as we make our way through life," the church wrote in the bulletin. "They offer us inspiration, wisdom, intercession and support. They direct us toward true happiness and remind us that we are all called to be saints. All it takes is desire, love and fidelity. There is much we can learn from the official saints of the church. Their guidance is ever before us and ever with us. But there is also a lot to learn from the unofficial saints of the church. They sit beside us every Sunday, are our neighbors and ordinary people we meet every day. Because of the devotedness of their faith, they remind us to keep going, remain focused, and cultivate purpose and meaning, and give voice to those who have none."
