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).
Since he is the Patron Saint for Students, I’ve sought his intercession as I enter my round(s) of full faculty dissertation defense …
During my committee defense period, I went through these Novenas:

“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]
