Changed By God To Make A Difference For God

All-Saints' Sunday is a day we remember our loved ones who have died in the faith of Christ. But All-Saints is so much more than eternal life, massively important as eternal life is. As all our readings attest, All-Saints points to a much greater reality and future. It is an appropriate day for the saints of God in the Church Militant (those still living in this mortal life) to anticipate the Great Reversal when the Kingdom of God comes in full on earth as in heaven as our Lord prayed in the prayer he gave to us, and good finally triumphs over evil. Hear Father Maney develop this idea and then give yourself or renew your commitment to the one who died for you so that you could have this hope. Lectionary texts for today are Daniel 7.1-3, 15-18; Psalm 149; Ephesians 1.11-23; Luke 6.20-31.
