Today, we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints, our Feast Day. We honor the men and women who led extraordinarily holy lives on earth and that the Church has canonized as saints. This is a great day, a Holy Day - a day to rejoice and be thankful.
Honoring the saints also becomes an invitation to each one of us on earth to strive after the holiness the saints attained. The saints give us an example; their lives are a “how to” book in holiness. This day helps us recognize the faithful service of the saints and share in their joy of serving Christ. As we recognize all the saints in Heaven today, ponder the fact that you are called to be among their company.
