November 1, 2025: Solemnity of All Saints Day

Our Church is a great communion of those on Earth and those in Heaven.  The Church in Heaven is filled with those who were faithful in their lives in the Church on Earth and now are united with God in His Presence in Heaven, giving Him glory.

As people of faith, we see the path that leads to where they are.  We strive to be purified and unite ourselves closely to God, becoming more like Him.  We focus away from the world's wisdom to follow the path to build virtues and put faith into action, even though "Holy Moments", a term Matthew Kelly often uses.  On this path, we are transformed to be more like God, experiencing the reality of union with Him now that we will experience in its fullness in Heaven.

God has made it possible to be close to Him through Jesus Christ, and so holiness is not far off, but something that we can experience now, where we are.
