Sanctification

Last night I was listening to a show on the process of canonizing saints. It went through the various political rigmarole and arguments that happen with such things, but the last two minutes were of a Jesuit priest and of his personal views of sainthood - that there are common, holy people in his life that he looks to, and considers as saints. His father was such a man and the priest said that he often turned and prayed to him. "Father, help me to be good as I go down these stairs."
And it resonated within, that our holiness and our movements towards God are as vast and complete as the gift of salvation, and as intimate and as daily as walking down the stairs.
As I go down these stairs,
As I cook this meal,
As I drive this road,
As I dress my daughter,

Draw me near, make me holy, in all these moments, dear God.
