Below is a great video/link about not only how Halloween and All Saints’ Day are connected, but also about saints in general. We talked about this some last Monday.
Remember, a saint is a soul in Heaven, and we are told in the video multiple times that being a saint is being who you truly are. If we live for God first and remove sin from our life we can each become saints, in fact we are each CALLED to be saints.
Saints in the video are likened to older brothers and sisters…remember, they pray for us in Heaven if we ask, the way someone prays for us on Earth if we ask. And they’re that much closer to God! So if anyone challenges you, you are NOT worshipping the saints by praying to them, you are asking them to take your prayer to God.
Make sure you get to Mass today to celebrate this great feast, it’s a Holy Day of Obligation! Don’t think of it as an obligation though, think of it as an opportunity!
