Grateful for the Dead (but not the Grateful Dead!)

1 November 2020 - The Feast of All Saints is the perfect opportunity to be reminded of the biblical nature of holiness, vindicating some points of both Roman Catholic and Protestant views. This feast day, says Rev. David Pileggi, also allows us to express our gratitude for those who have gone before us and have shown us how to live faithfully in troubled times – in war, persecution, epidemics, or even in the everyday routines of life. Of course, we must remember that those who have died in faith are not really dead. They are very much alive as that great cloud of witnesses cheering us on to the finish line. Readings: Revelation 7:9-17; 1 John 3:1-3; Matthew 5:1-12 Blessed by our teachings?
