THE HALLOWED ONES.....SAINTS OF GOD IN GLORY IN THE COMMUNION OF THE KINGDOM...........

Catholic-Christians open November with the Holyday and Solemnity of All Saints, honoring the heroes of holiness, whose lives on earth were in outstanding union with God, to now be in the Communion of Saints in God's Everelasting Kingdom.  The accomplishment attained by the Saints of God in Glory, is that they answered the basic Call to Holiness, placed in the lives of every human being, that is our daily opportunity to grow in Living Faith.  The first and foremost call of the Second Vatican Council, 1962-1965, is the Universal Call to Holiness.  The canonized Saints of our Christian heritage, as well as the countless millions of holy and faithful persons throughout our more than two thousand years of history, are celebrated and remembered today.  Let us continue to strive to increase our holiness and emulate  their excellent example of fidelity to Discipleship and Gospel Values, in Jesus The Christ, so as to gain a place in the Communion of Saints in the Kingdom of Eternal Life Forever...........Alleluia !  Amen !!!!!!!!!!!   Fr.  Troy
