Reflection
Today is november 1st, 2025. Where did October go? For me, it's duty call at St. Raphael for me. And more importantly, it is also all Saints Day, a day not merely a time to honor those who have attained sainthood in the church, but also a call to us to reflect on our own vocation to holiness.
We are invited to follow Jesus with pure hearts,
imitating the saints who have gone before us. You can read about that in the Gospel today, the beatitudes.
Sainthood is not bestowed by the Church, it is recognized as the fruit of a life lived in unity with the will of God.
Each of us is called to that same sanctity through love, humility, and faithfulness.
God bless you 🙏
Pal Ronnie and Happy November
