A saint can be defined as one of God's chosen, usually Christian

.... is in trouble and needs his blessing. This is a trap that later
costs the whiskey priest his life, but he is willing to overlook this. This
is best shown when he eventually forgives and even prays for the Mestizo
who betrayed him: “The priest waved his hand; he bore no grudge because he
expected nothing else of anything human...” (P. 198) This shows that that
whiskey priest is a forgiving man and this indeed helps to validate that
