"Don't be like your older brother!" Such are the words of many parents whose younger children always seem to imitate their older siblings in every way. This can often be a frustration, unless the older sibling is a saint!

In that case, parents will heartily say, "Be like your older brother!"

Throughout history there have been countless examples of sibling saints, brothers and sisters being inspired by each other's saintly example, choosing to follow Christ with their whole being.
