With the approach of November, we enter the time of remembrance of those who have already joined God. Beginning with All Saints Day on November 1st and All Souls Day, November 2nd, we take time during the month to pray for and with our deceased loved ones.
We are all saints through our baptism. Living a saintly life is not a matter of floating around with angelic music playing. What would be the attraction in that? We are saintly when we go about our everyday tasks in a spirit of love, joy & peace, even in the midst of this world's turmoil.
Who modeled practical sainthood for you? Who showed you what it means to live your faith in day to day reality, standing firm to the teaching of Jesus even when it was not the easy way?
Feel free to share a story or two of these people so we can all remember & rejoice in their lives.
