Solemnity of All Saints Readings
When you think of saints, what comes to mind?
- Angel wings?
- Halos and extra holiness?
- Serene, smiling faces in clean white robes?
How about this: survivors!
Saints come in all shapes and forms – men & women, young & old, rich & poor, with a variety of abilities, challenges, and opportunities. Yet all of them share some common traits:
- They had their share of struggles. Life brought them obstacles and difficulties.
- They had their share of blessings. They experienced beauty and grace.
- They made mistakes. Sometimes their sins were epic…with horrible consequences.
- They returned to Christ. Over, and over, and over again!
We celebrate the saints this Sunday, recognizing in their lives the hope we have in Jesus Christ. The Lord makes the path to heaven possible, and the saints have walked on the way before us. They made it! Not because they were perfect, but because they turned (and returned) to the Lord.
They are our inspiration. In our struggles, in our blessings, in our mistakes…we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ. We have hope that the one who bridged the gap between heaven and earth will continue to support and guide us on our journey to eternal life.
