All Saints
The saints are put before us for our imitation; to show us the way.
Our glorious future has to be worked out in loving service here on earth.
All Saints Day gives us fresh courage to renew our resolve and to thank God for giving ordinary folk like us the ability to become saints.
As we honour the saints, we pray that where they are we also may one day be.
