Well Said: Saints and Constellations

The saints bring to light in creative fashion quite new human potentialities… The saints are themselves the living spaces into which one can turn. ... One might say that the saints are, so to speak, new Christian constellations, in which the richness of God’s goodness is reflected. Their light, coming from God, enables us to know better the interior richness of God’s great light.

Pope Benedict XVI

Having just been deeply influenced by reading about Satoko Kitahara this quote rings very true.
