The long road from Pentecost is still a straight one, and the Holy Spirit goes where He wills to declare many holy who are anything but. It is the action of God to declare a saint what he or she is not: saintly. It is the work of God and not of man, but paradoxically, God uses people to connect to other people. We are still in the Pentecost by the Spirit's work, through Word and Sacrament.
