We are not made for ourselves alone, we are made for the good of our fellow creatures. – St. Gregory Nazianzus

All-Saints Sunday At St. Peter’s
Today is All-Saints Sunday which is observed in some Christian traditions such as the Episcopal Church and for me personally at St. Peters. It’s a time to remember those who have died in the previous year. Remembering these souls who have blessed us in this life is an honorable thing to do. It reminds believers that follow Jesus that their lives are not forgotten. It is good to remember and reflect upon the contributions that our saints have made to make the world a better place.
All Saints Day – Remembering All Who Have Gone On To Eternity #allsaintsday
All Saints’ Day, also known as All Hallows’ Day, Hallowmas, the Feast of All Saints, or Solemnity of All Saints, is a Christian festival celebrated in honour of all the saints, known and unknown.
I am remembering my Dad who is with the Saints and Angels in heaven today. May all who have lost loved ones be remembered as people who were human and worthy of God’s love.
The Afterlife
I am a proud member of the Episcopal branch of the Jesus movement. I believe in a afterlife for all. With that being said its still never easy to see brilliant and talented people leaving this life when there is still so much work to be done. When its someone close to your age it kind of rattles the soul. There are so many people who are close to us who were vital parts of our lives who have joined the company of saints and it makes life a little less awesome. Perhaps it is a reminder we all have a responsibility to make things great for people who rely upon us to carry the torch.

St. Valentine’s Day, The Hard Truth #valentinesday
It wasn’t roses and candy for St. Valentine. He had it rough. Not a whole lot of love there.
