The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. That is how our second reading opens today and it is a beautiful summary of who we are and why we are here celebrating the Feat of All Saints. It is the tremendous love of God that has sought us out, to find us individually, and to bring us into the eternal Kingdom. This is why we are Saints in the fullest sense of that word. All who believe in Jesus and acknowledge Him as the eternally begotten only son of God are Saints.
Saints then come from all times and all places and all kinds of people.
Today we celebrate the feast of All Saints. The word saint comes from the Greek word hagios and means separated, kept aside for a specific purpose. If God had not loved us enough to save us from our choices and our self-centered decisions we would certainly have perished. Look at our lives now. Let s be honest.
