11/1/26 Where Are Your Heroes?

About this episode

Homily from the Solemnity of All Saints.

The goal is not flawlessness. The goal is Union.

The saints are our heroes, but not because they lived without wounds, weaknesses, or struggles. They remind us of what is possible when we allow ourselves to be transformed by God's grace. Despite their imperfections, they continued to say yes to God: they continue to run alongside us. And they will encourage us to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus.

Mass Readings from November 1, 2026: Revelation 7:2-4, 9-14 Psalm 24:1bc-2, 3-4ab, 5-6John 3:1-3

Matthew 5:1-12a
