See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. 1 John:3
On the feast of All Saints, we honour those women and men who — whether they’ve been canonized or not — have led lives of tremendous virtue that set an example for all Christians.
The gospel for All Saints Day (Matt 5:1-12a) He began to teach them, saying: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven."
Let us pray
Jesus:
the world says, “blessed are the powerful for they will inherit the earth.”
You say the poor will inherit the earth.
Make us your incarnation. Let us be your poor. Make us radical.
Let us inherit the earth, transform it with meekness, mercy, clean hearts complete peace, and hunger for justice,
(in total dependence on you.)
