The Saint of Second Place is a beautiful description. Most of us “toil in obscurity” not seeking public acclaim or financial rewards. I’m thinking of the recent celebration of Mother’s Day and all the many hours of mother’s century after century. I don’t think it’s even done hoping for a quicker path to heaven. It’s just a life well lived

What a wonderful piece! I recently listened to your interview on Hear and Now podcast, and was excited to hear you’ve thought about writing books. Pieces like this, on the saints, and reflections you’ve done on liturgy and the gospels, always make me wish you would write a book. . . Something like, Theology of the Home V: Living Liturgically with the Saints, by Denise Trull . . . Just if I had to come up with something off the top of my head.
