Happy All Saints Day

I just wanted to wish everyone Happy All Saints Day. As noted on theCatholic News Agency website:

"This feast honors all the saints of the Church, known and unknown. On this day, Catholics are asked to reflect on holiness and sainthood and to celebrate the holiness of men and women who gave their lives in faithfulness and service to God, and whose witness continues to inspire us today.

All Saints Day was originally a feast in the Eastern Church for martyrs, but it was extended to the Roman Catholic Church in the 9th century to include non-martyrs as well."

So spend today honoring those people who lived an exemplary holy life and lets try our best to do the same.
