The Saints are Real People: Family Reflection Video

Holy lives of inspiration

On this day, we celebrate those who have crossed the finish line into Heaven.

The Saints we celebrate today were regular people, like you and me, and now they serve as both role models and intercessors in prayer. It’s an incredible gift that we are allowed to walk with Saints and that we have the opportunity to become one ourselves. In the Saints we find a reason for hope and a path to walk with God and each other.

Take a good look at your family, you’re surrounded by Saints. Talk about how you can live as a Saint. How can you touch the lives of others as so many Saints did? Who is your favorite Saint?

May the Lord and Saints hear your prayers today as we celebrate their lives and works!
