The saint

After Philippians 1:1-2

The saint is the holy one,

the holy one set apart

by God, the one pulled away

from what surrounds and

strangles, pulled away

to what feeds and strengthens.

It is an identity, superseding

any other designation,

any other label, any other claim,

any other identity.

Before we are anything,

we are saints.
