Imagine you’re running a race, or maybe it feels more like an impossible obstacle course. You look up and see a billion people rooting for you. People who know what it’s like to be in your shoes, who have run their race, or are running it. We feel encouraged, lifted up by their love. Each of us takes our place at life’s starting line…imagine the communion of Saints are up in those stands cheering you on! A Saint is someone who made it to heaven - everyone from your beloved grandmother to the brave martyrs of history. They are witnesses to living in the light of Christ, and we commemorate them today, on All Saints Day. You are a Saint in the making. Sainthood is not impossible. In fact, it is our call. “Do not be afraid to be saints. Follow Jesus Christ who is the source of freedom and light. Be open to the Lord so that He may lighten all your ways.” - Saint Pope John Paul II All you holy men and women, pray for us. #orapronobis
