All Saints Day

Every Christian is called to a life of sanctity. To put it in a more realistic language: we are called to live in a Christ-like way, to follow His precepts, to take up our cross, and to allow the Spirit to set us on fire with His love in this dark and often negative world. We are called to love, despite what we would sometimes rather do, and despite what the world instructs us, which is to blame, to judge and to condemn.
