A family reading list: Books for All Saints' Day (Our Sunday Visitor)

[“The Loyola Treasury of Saints”](https://www.amazon.com/Loyola-Treasury-Saints-David-Self/dp/0829417850): By far the largest and longest book in our basket this month, “The Loyola Treasury of Saints” (Loyola Press, $28.95) is a gem. [“Lily Lolek, Future Saint”](https://tanbooks.com/products/books/kids/toddler/lily-lolek-future-saint/) by Katie Warner: With bright, colorful illustrations and engaging rhyme, “Lily Lolek, Future Saint” (TAN, $16.95) is sure to capture the imagination of younger and older kids alike. [“I’m a Saint in the Making”](https://www.amazon.com/Im-Saint-Making-Lisa-Hendey/dp/1640601635/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2N3R8EJZT4T67&keywords=i%27m+a+saint+in+the+making&qid=1667191716&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjE0IiwicXNhIjoiMC4wNyIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&s=books&sprefix=i%27m+a+saint+%2Cstripbooks%2C91&sr=1-1) by Lisa Hendey: This lovely book is another title we love from Lisa Hendey. In addition to teaching about the saints themselves, “I’m a Saint in the Making” (Paraclete Press, $14.99) puts the focus on the ways that all of us are called to be saints. [“Light of Heaven: A Children’s Book of Saints”](https://osvcatholicbookstore.com/product/light-of-heaven-a-children-s-book-of-saints) by Adalee Hude: For a short introduction to some of the Catholic Church’s best-loved men and women, you can’t beat Adalee Hude’s “Light of Heaven” (OSV, $16.95). May these books help your family learn and grow as you work toward Heaven! Written by the author of “The Mindful Catholic” and his wife, the Bottarros use stories about the saints to introduce children to breathing and relaxation techniques. As the title suggests, these books present the saints as akin to superheroes — full of the gifts and talents from God that help them fight evil and fulfill their purpose in life. [“Sitting Like a Saint”](https://www.wellspringbooks.org/products/sitting-like-a-saint) by Dr. In honor of All Saints’ Day, I like to use the month of November to introduce my kids to new saints. [“Saints Around the World”](https://saintsaroundtheworld.com/) by Meg Hunter-Kilmer: Meg Hunter-Kilmer is well known and loved on social media for her eloquent and educational posts about obscure saints, and in this children’s book, she pulls all of that knowledge together with a talent for bringing the information down to a child’s level without dumbing it down. Reading is one of my favorite ways to sprinkle liturgical living into our everyday life.

A different look at Parisian cemeteries on All Saints Day (TheMayorEU)

More than 200,000 visitors are expected to pay tribute to dearly departed ones, but in the French capital some of these spots are also famous tourist sites.

It is for example in the Parisian cemeteries outside the walls that we now find hedgehogs, tawny owls and even foxes! Covering an area of 43 hectares, it is to date the largest intramural green space in the capital. That day is thus a good opportunity to visit cemeteries and pay respect to the memory of dead people.

Thoughts on All Saints' Day (Philstar.com)

Pinoys troop to the cemeteries today, Nov. 1, to celebrate All Saints' Day, that Mexicans call Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).

Besides not having the capability to harm you, they probably just want to send a message, but are unable to articulate it because they no longer have bodies. Inside the wreckage was the body of a woman. Beside the body was a toddler that survived the accident. They are no longer confined to one place; they’re everywhere. Romualdez](https://www.philstar.com/authors/1806590/ambassador-b-romualdez) We may honor them in our hearts for that’s where they are. [BABE’S EYE VIEW FROM WASHINGTON D.C.](https://www.philstar.com/columns/136463/babes-eye-view-washington-dc) Catholics and members of other faiths call these beings guardian angels. That’s the reason Filipinos and Mexicans share some Castilian traits, including indolence. A case in point was a strip of highway in Sierra Nevada, where a naked woman appeared on the roadside. If you feel bad because you can’t go to the “resting places” of your loved ones today, for one reason or the other, you should realize that they will never, ever begrudge your absence. Banish the notion that some of our dead relatives or friends are suffering in the fires of hell due to worldly misdeeds; there’s no such place.

By extension of the calendar, every year All Saints Day is preceded by its vigil, or eve on the 31st of October, this year landing on a Monday. This is of.

It is all part of what God uses to call us to be saints and to renew all of creation, and all of the culture, in Christ Jesus. Unfortunately, much that is sacrilegious, and evil is done on or around Halloween, and our prayers of reparation are a very important antidote to this poison in our culture. This is of course the primary origin of the secular observance popularly called “Halloween” in our country. It might even be said that making us into saints is one of the greatest things God can possibly do, even more grand than the creation of the universe itself simply because the material world cannot argue with God in the way that we can. Death is to be feared, and our mortality should govern our day-to-day decisions, however for a Christian, we do face it with hope. Whenever that major solemnity lands on a Tuesday through a Friday, it becomes a Holy Day of obligatory Mass attendance for All Catholics, or something like a Sunday in the middle of the regular week.

The saints who put their trust in Christ and lived heroic lives of faith, are the instruments that God uses to work miracles in our present world. Saints are not just the Statues to be honoured but they are biographies to be imitated. The feast of All Saints give us a model of holiness and that holiness comes in all sizes and shapes. The saints are in heaven but they are made on earth. But the truth is that God wants to use the intercession, and therefore, the mediation of the saints in our lives. It implies that the saints were saints from the cradle onwards.

The simple faith and powerlessness of saints like these is something I try to remember on All Saints’ Day—they weren’t famous or influential in their time, just like most of us.

'The greatest gift God has given to mankind is death', said a passage in the bible. All of us will end the same way, ‘whosever you are, even if you are the loftiest of tower, death will surely overtake you’. Maybe in their bleeding hearts they are begging the Good Lord to end their sufferings. ‘A time to be born and a time to die’. It is a way of understanding who we really are, and what is life all about. My friends like Urbano Pineda, Romeo Vhon Macaspac and Raul Aquino will agree that like them and me are mortals and are only passing on this earth and we are on a journey and our time isn’t limitless. To many people, it is a time to reflect and do some soul searching. Though we extend condolences to the families and mourn their passing, we should believe that there is a season for everyone.
