All saints day

All Saints' Day. A mother and her young daughter were sitting in church one day, a sanctuary with a bank of stain glass windows that depicted great spiritual icons: priests and nuns, artists, poets, and musicians. The mom explained to her little one that the people in the glass were saints. The little girl studied the windows for a minute, then exclaimed, "Oh, I get it. Saints are people that the sun shines through."
“Saintliness means living without division between word and action. If I would truly live in my own life the word I am speaking, my spoken words would becomes actions, and miracles would happen whenever I open my mouth.” – Henri Nouwen
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, I am open to illumination. I listen, observe, and heed the wisdom of teachers, friends, and saints. I remember who I am: an expression of the Infinite, a divine spark of the one Light. In right identification, I discover and live my destiny. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
