Who do you know that could be described as a living "saint"?

No one. I'm not saying everybody's scum, I just don't hold anybody up like that.

My friend Shayna, while not a saint, is perhaps the most angelic person I know. She radiates tons of great energy and I don't think she even knows it.  So many people simply love her for being such a fantastic person.

I have a cousin who is in the same order of nuns as Mother Theresa. Maybe she is on her way?

For me the term "saint" embodies not only virtue, but a special relationship with the divine. I am not equipped to judge anyone else's relationship with the divine.

I don't think there is an actual or as biblical text would describe, Saint.  There is the Pope and others of differing religions but no one can really be the judge of a real saint, only God can do that.

I don't know anyone just now who fits the category. I have known some people in the past who were described in that way, but in my opinion they were more martyrs than saints and all too often flaunted their martyrdom.

Quite honestly, no one. : (

A mentally retarded guy works in our file room and talks to anyone who will listen, telling them sports scores, corny jokes, plots of cartoons, etc. It got so bad that people would go out of their way not to have to pass his desk and be bombarded with words. However, one woman who worked here listened to him at length, letting him go on and on. Everyone called her "Saint Rosemary".

um.. the only person i can think of would be my best friend, because she's pretty religious...

My mother-in-law, Doris. She is the perfect example of a Proverbs 31 woman, gracious, kind, loving, and a gentle spirit. God Bless her.

I have a friend who's mother I might consider a living saint. She is the most wonderful person I have ever met and everything she does is for everyone else. She is the most unselfish person I know and to the people who know and love her...she might very well be a saint!

Can't say I've met anyone or know of anyone who is a living saint.

One of my best friends comes close; after knowing me only one week, he really leapt to save me when I suddenly came down with a serious illness when I was visiting him, and ended up carrying me to the hospital, sitting with me in the ER, and then he insisted on looking after me after I had had emergency surgery as a result. And again, this was only after knowing me for one week. (Although, he's so being described as a "saint" would probably amuse him to no end.)

If I knew someone like that, I probably wouldn't like him or her.

Anybody who can put up with me on a long-term basis.

There was this teacher at my high school who if she isn't canonized by the Catholic Church, I'm calling the Pope and complaining. She's amazing. She adopts at-risk, mentally and physically handicapped, minority, and/or abused children and raises them. She's a beautiful human being.
