Notes on the Feast

November 1, 2016 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Family Fun, Living Liturgically, Spiritual Growth 2 Comments

Do you know what I love about All Hallows’ Eve?

all-hallows-eve-2016

I love that it’s followed by the feast of All Saints, and that we go from the super-fun (but ordinary) to the super-celestial and extraordinary!

I love to think of ALL THOSE SAINTS: St. Margaret of Scotland & St. Josemaria Escriva; St. Teresa of Avila & Therese of Lisieux; St. John Bosco; St. Padre Pio; St. Joseph, St. Anne, Mother Mary…

One could, quite literally, go on & on.

Here’s a thought—the briefest of thoughts. When you’re at Mass, today or the next time, look around and imagine this: imagine that you see your very favorite saint, just…sitting in the pew worshiping alongside of you. It’s a powerful exercise, (at least for me), but these saints are real people and they’re out there, interceding!

That’s my thought. The briefest of thoughts.

God love you!

Happy feast day. ♥

    Sitting in the pew worshiping alongside me are my guardian angel and St. Joseph.

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
