I believe the Saints are we, who follow Christ.

In Catholic understanding, a Saint has to work miracles after his death. In Lutheran understanding (I am Lutheran), a Saint is a person who gives a shiny (edit: I don't think "shiny" really fits here - perhaps I should say "glowing"?) example for a responsible, faith-based, christian way of life. He who leads others to the principles of Christianity with all it's duties and privileges is a Saint.

My "favourite" Saint is Dietrich Bonhoeffer. I don't know, if you in America know him?

Yep, he defied Hitler and unfortunately lost his life just about three months before the war ended, as I recall. Didn't care much for some of his theology - but then again how would anyone know what absolute theology is?
