Q-What does the "communion of saints" mean? A-The "communion of saints" is made up of all men and women who have placed their hope in Christ and belong to him through Baptism, whether they have already died or are still alive. Because in Christ we are one Body; we live in communion that encompasses heaven and earth.- Youcat 146 Q-Are we all supposed to become "saints"? A-Yes.
