Saints are individuals of exceptional holiness who are important in many religions, particularly Christianity.
In some usages, the word "saint" is used more generally to refer to anyone who is a Christian.
A saint is always someone through whom we catch a glimpse of what God is like -- and of what we are called to be. Only God 'makes' saints, of course.
The church merely identifies from time to time a few of these for emulation.
The church then tells the story. But the author is the Source of the grace by which saints live.
And there we have it: A saint is someone whose story God tells.
