The Triumph of the Immaculate by Paolo de Matteis
"If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together."
(1 Corinthians 12:26)


Read:
Romans 14:7-9
Psalm 18
John 15:5-12

Study:
1) Handouts:
The Communion of Saints; Holiness and Joy; Solemnity of All Saints

2) 3MC:
59 – Why do Catholics call on the saints?

3) CCC 459, 825-828, 946-959, 1471-1479, 1716-1729, 2013-2015, 2030, 2635-2636 (YOUCAT 146-149, 342)

Meditate:
In what ways can I honor the memory and lives of the heroes of my faith? Do I also desire to be a saint? What steps must I take to foster holiness and virtue in my own life? Were all saints perfect their entire lives?

Pray:
Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Imitate:
Sts. Perpetua, Felicity, and Companions

Apply:
In times of need, do I ask for help from my brothers and sisters both on earth and in heaven? Do I pray for those in purgatory? I spend time reading about the lives of the saints?

Extra:
Why pray to saints?

Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD?
And who shall stand in his holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false, and does not swear deceitfully.
(Psalm 24:3-4)

    AUTHOR:
    Caleb Payne

    Caleb began his journey with Christ in 1997. He worked as a Protestant missionary for 8 years in China. It was soon after that he was challenged to consider the Catholic Church. After much prayer and study, he realized he had nothing to protest anymore and was received into full communion with Christ and His Church at the Easter Vigil Mass of 2011. For him the joy and peace that comes with receiving Christ in the Eucharist has turned into an insatiable desire to lead others to this same banquet. Caleb is first a husband, a father of three, and works in the Cortland area as a Registered Nurse. Caleb is a member of the Lay Fraternities of St. Dominic, the Angelic Warfare Confraternity, the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary, and is an Evangelist for Saint Paul Street Evangelization. He has Certifications in Thomistic/Catholic Philosophy, Catholic Theology, and Catholic Apologetics through the New Saint Thomas Institute. He is also currently in the Formation for Ministry Program of the Syracuse Diocese.
