“Be imitators of God, as beloved children” (Ephesians 5:1). In his homilies this week, Fr. Moss has been exhorting us to live out this Scripture passage, proclaimed at Mass this past Monday. The Saints help us to do this! We look to them as examples of faith, hope and love and beg their intercession.
This coming Sunday, we celebrate All Saints Day. It is a day to celebrate not only famous saints like St. Augustine and St. Catherine of Siena, but also ordinary Christians who lived virtuous lives. We remember their dedication and love for God, whether or not the Church has officially canonized them as Saints.
In anticipation of the feast, our first graders will lead us in a Saints Parade following Mass on Friday. Please join us if you can! Enjoy this weekend of celebration.
