Solemnity of All Saints

Saint of the day

Solemnity of All Saints

Naming people “saints” acknowledges that they led holy lives, did the work of God, and are now with God. A saint is anyone who lives with God, whether officially recognized or not. (Taken from "Good News Day by Day: Bible Reflections for Teens.")

Reflection

Many of us have known saints. Take time today to remember those special people in your life who have gone on to be with God. Who are the saints in your life? Are you a better person because of them? (Taken from "Good News Day by Day: Bible Reflections for Teens.")

Prayer

I know that you work through many people, God. Thank you for all your saints and for the work they have done in your name. (Taken from "Good News Day by Day: Bible Reflections for Teens.")
