Weekly Religious Education Notes

November 3, 2024

As November begins, I am reminded of the Saints.  These holy people who walked the earth taught us about God and His love for us.  We all know those famous Saints.  Who hasn't prayed to St. Anthony when something is lost (Tony, Tony, turn around, something's lost that can't be found!), or buried St. Joseph (upside down)) when trying to sell your house.  We also look to the newer Saints such as Bl. Carlo Acutis, who will be canonized in 2025, who as a young child, brought his family back to Mass faithfully, and as a teenage, catalogued the many Eucharistic Miracles.  We look to the Saints for guidance, examples of virtuous lives lived well for Christ. 

We need to remember, though, that each and every one of us is called to be a saint.  We are all called to live a life of love and charity, walking each day of our lives with Christ beside us.  We are called to spread God's fragrance wherever we go and to be the loving hand and hearts of Christ.
