Meg, Elizabeth, and Mary bring information on some of their favorite saints, with a few honorable mentions thrown in for good measure. As we share about Teresa of Avila, Hildegard of Bingen, a touch on Mary Magdalene, and a dash of Lottie Moon, our conversation wanders into how we qualify someone as a “saint,” the sainthood of us all, and the reality that often women censured or rejected in their own time later gain the title of “saint” for the very work that gained them reprimands in the first place! Teresa and Hildegard wrote on subjects even modern readers might consider scandalous, adding to their worth, in our eyes, as exemplary women.
