Bernadette, Jacinta, and the whole Canonized Crowd--this is the day we honor and acknowledge them all. Like the hymn says, "For all the saints, who from their labors rest...." this is a day to appreciate those who suffered for us, and inspire us. And not just canonized saints, but there are living saints who walk among us, every day. Like Sister Camille D'Arienzo, and Doctor Anthony Fauci.
I know two people whose birthday this is--a former coworker, and the youngest of my cousins; the youngest of the Hearn grandchildren, in fact, though we are all pretty much getting up there.
Praise to the saints, and may they continue to guide us!
Some, like I, need it! Because we cannot ALL be saints!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When our weeping’s over, He will bid us welcome, then we’ll come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves!!
