“From the age of fifteen, dogma has been the fundamental principle of my religion: I know no other religion; I cannot enter into the idea of any other sort of religion; religion, as a mere sentiment, is to me a dream and a mockery.” Blessed John Henry Newman.

It is right to celebrate!

Happy All Saints day!

Pope Benedict XVI said, ” The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort, you were made for greatness.”

We are all called to be the best we can be in Christ. Let our brightest light shine. We are called to holiness, closeness to God. The Saints who precede us reached ‘greatness’ in their own unique way.

Recently, I visited the execution site of St’s Thomas More and John Fisher just outside the London Tower on Tower Hill where they were martyred for their Catholic faith. They died not knowing of their greatness in living their Faith with such tenacity. It is right to celebrate their lives and to remember their sacrifice.

Thank you for sharing. I love that Pope Benedict quote, since I’ve been lately trying to reduce the amount I rely on material life.

  Must be pretty difficult I imagine. I too hanker after a simple life . One day. One day.
  Pope Benedict is amazing.

I agree about the quote: it is a wonderful one.
And I love the photo of all the candles. What was that for, was it an All Saints celebration? It certainly fits the occasion.
My cynical side says it is more likely a memorial for Kurt Cobain’s death or something like that.

  I understand and appreciate your sentiments…this was an image on google that just jumped out as a fitting tribute to All Saints. It wasn’t labelled.
