Saints – around the world

The Catholic Church is called universal because it belongs to people all over the world. Saints come from many different countries, cultures and backgrounds, showing us that anyone can follow Jesus and live a holy life.

The Bible reminds us, “Whoever loves God must also love his brother and sister” (1 John 4:21), and the saints lived this out by caring for others and being faith filled and brave. Even though they were all different, they shared a love for God and for people, reminding us that we are one family and that everyone is called to live with faith, courage, and love.

1. After reading, write a short paragraph (blurb) about:

• Who Saint St Lorenzo Ruiz was
• How you can be like St Lorenzo Ruiz today?
