Happy All Saints Day!
Bishop Mike has called us “saints in the making” who will join the saints someday to whom we pray.
Currently, I’m in a Saint Benedict Novena, initiated by my Bestie Evie (who claims him as her patron after her own healing).

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us.”
~ Hebrews 12:1 [pointed out by Maryknoll]
