Saints

The saints of long ago had heroic virtue, humility, and great courage. Modern saints, however, had these same characteristics of holiness. Many modern saints offered the supreme witness of their lives, attesting to the truth that, even now, Christ conquers not by the blood of His enemies, but by the blood of His martyrs. The Church holds up saints as examples for the rest of us: if they attained holiness, we can, too.

Some saints weren't very holy.
At least, not at first. We hear a lot about saints who led such holy lives, we can barely hope to imitate their heroic virtue.
