For All the Saints...

“O Almighty God, who hast knit together Thine elect in one Communion and fellowship in the mystical body of Thy Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, grant us grace so to follow Thy blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living that we may come to those unspeakable joys which Thou hast prepared for those who unfeignedly love Thee; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.” ~ Collect for All Saints' Day

Forerunners of Christ with Saints and Martyrs by Fra Angelico

Christ the Crown of All the Saints

"When we celebrate the Feast of All Saints, we ought to repeat to ourselves the words that St. Augustine heard: Cur non poteris quod isti, quod istae? What reasons have we for not tending to holiness? Oh, I know well what each one is tempted to say: 'I have such or such a difficulty, I have such or such a trial to contend with, I cannot become saint.' But be sure that all the saints have met with such difficulties, such trials, and much greater ones than yours. Thus then none can say, 'Holiness is not for me.'" ~ From Blessed Abbot Marmion's book, Christ in His Mysteries

Mary, Queen of all saints, pray for us!

All ye Saints of God, intercede for us!

All ye consecrated to God, pray for us!
