  • Saints used to mean anyone that was a Christian but now it means a particularly good Christian whose work has been recognised and keeps working after his or her death.
  • Monks, nuns, priests, vicars, and missionaries all devote their whole lives to serving God.
  • Christian people all try to make sure they live as far as possible like Jesus. Even in business they have to be honest, caring and trustworthy. They all should help with some charity work to make life better for the underprivileged.
