31 Sunday A - Liturgical Prayers
Greeting (See Second Reading)
Thanks to God, you have heard his message
through his Son Jesus Christ.
It is God's own message which the Church proclaims,
not some human thinking.
It gives you strength when you believe it.
May Jesus, God's living Word, be always with you.
R/ And also with you.
Introduction by the Celebrant
All Saints' Day
From Fr. Tony Kadavil:
NOVEMBER 1, 2017 ALL SAINTS DAY (L-17)
One-page synopsis: The feast and its objectives: All baptized Christians who have died and are now with God in glory are considered saints. All Saints Day is intended to honor the memory of countless unknown and uncanonized saints who have no feast days. Today we thank God for giving ordinary men and women a share in His holiness and Heavenly glory as a reward for their Faith. This feast is observed to teach us to honor the saints, both by imitating their lives and by seeking their intercession for us before Christ, the only mediator between God and man (I Tim. 2:5). The Church reminds us today that God's call for holiness is universal, that all of us are called to live in His love and to make His love real in the lives of those around us. Holiness is related to the word wholesomeness. We grow in holiness when we live wholesome lives of integrity truth, justice, charity, mercy and compassion, sharing our blessings with others.
