I need this reminder often: that holiness is not a competition. We’re all meant to be on the same team together striving for Heaven. There’s more than enough of God’s love to go around—and there’s more than enough of God’s work to go around. He personally invites each of us into this work to bring His love to the billions of people who so desperately need it. Yet the moment we start to compare ourselves to others, our focus shifts from freely loving others to selfishly trying to serve and preserve ourselves.

The more we entertain jealousy, even subconsciously, the more we get caught up trying to build our own kingdoms here on earth. When we seek to gain for ourselves, especially at someone else’s expense, we build a kingdom of death and destruction rather than God’s Kingdom of new life and restoration. When we covet praise and glory, we not only forget others’ dignity, but we forget our own dignity as God’s desired, beloved daughter.

Affirming someone else’s goodness does not take away from our own. In fact, actively seeking to recognize another’s dignity allows us to become more like God and see them more clearly through God’s eyes.

I tap my fingers along the steering wheel. A barrage of thoughts, plans, and to-do lists run incessantly through my mind. Spinning me out of the present moment. Enabling me to settle for avoidance, rather than contemplation.

The Lord is here, but I am not.

I am distracted and in a hurry. But then I hear the endearingly raspy and boisterous voice of my son. Glancing in the rearview mirror, I see him pointing out the window, gap-toothed smile on his face.

“Mommy look! The sky is so blue!”

This simple phrase halts everything. All the thoughts, plans, and lists evaporate from the forefront of my mind, and I look at the sky. I do not remember the last time I truly looked at God’s creation. The last time I reveled in the beauty that surrounds me. A vast blue miraculous sky.

“It is so blue and beautiful.”

My son nods enthusiastically, and, in his dazzling eyes, I see that his soul is light and free from the shadows of doubt and distraction. My little boy is present. He is a child, and he is delightful. I take a deep breath and pray, “Lord, You are here, and so am I.”

Sister, I am often tangled in the net of distraction. Struggling and impatient. And maybe you are too? But amid our fruitless wrestling with all the demands that we place on ourselves, Jesus simply looks at us with love and asks us to drop our nets.

He invites us to see.

He invites us to be.

He invites us to follow Him.

The Catholic canon of Saints is full of young, vibrant Saints like Carlo Acutis, Chiara Badano, and Pier Giorgio Frassati. Their youthful brilliance, though inspiring, may leave those of us who found Jesus later in life feeling a bit like we wasted too much time. To combat those negative thoughts, I have pulled together a list of Saints who were unconcerned with God until later in life in the hopes that it qualms those unfavorable inner voices.⁠
