Do you not know? Have you not heard? You are called to be a saint! And you need not leave the world to do it. You need not leave worldly occupations to become a saint. This is part of the message of All Saints day, celebrated every November 1st. This feast day celebrates all saints, which includes those who we are saints in heaven yet were not canonized as such on earth. This is the whole company of those whose faces see the Divine glory in heaven, who gaze upon the face of the Son. What sunlight - to see reflected through them as through a stained-glass window the beauty and disarming gentleness of the saints, who come to us from all walks of life - from the ordained to the professed to the layperson. When they come marching in - do you want to be in that number?
