On this Solemnity of All Saints, let us turn to
the saints' reflections upon Christ's beatitudes.
Blessed are...
... the poor in spirit: "Not even God can put anything
in a heart that is already full"
--Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.
... they who mourn: "They who weep for their own
sins are blessed"
--St. Thomas Aquinas.
... the meek: "There is nothing as strong as true
meekness; there is nothing as gentle as true strength"
--St. Francis de Sales.
Thank you for your parish support!
“Of everything you give me, I will faithfully
return a tenth to you” Genesis 28:22
