This Saturday evening is All Hallows Eve, and Sunday is All Saints' Day. For me, it marks a time of reflection when I remember all the "saints" who have crossed my paths in life, all the people who have made an impact (transformative if not positive) sometime during the 30 years I've been on this earth.
For a beautiful prayer for All Saints's Day/All Hallows Eve, visit the GBOD website.
As part of the prayer, we are invited to call out the names of the saints from our families and communities.
On this Day of the Saints,* let us give honor to those who built our families, who sacrificed for our well-being, who built up our church, who founded institutions of learning, who braved the storm, who fought the good fight and who may still be fighting on. We stand on their shoulders!
Are there saints who have transformed your life in the service of God? Are there saints who are warriors of peace, justice, liberation? Are there saints whom you should name and lift up for having transformed your faith?
