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.

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.
