In short, there are saints who would seem larger-than-life, like Joan of Arc, or Mary Magdalene, or Francis of Assisi, and while it is true that these have a specific kind of importance, in the ecclesial sense, as well as, perhaps, in the cosmic or eternal sense, insofar as they might even inhabit a special nearness to the seat of divinity, relative to other souls who attend to the beatific vision (though that is a point of theology I don’t feel is my prerogative to explore), there are also saints who might strike us as more ordinary, or less bound to a transcendent reputation, because their feats seem less astounding, and more down-to-earth, which isn’t to say that they themselves are less venerable, or that the ‘larger-than-life’ figures are less accessible to us, or less real.
