FEAST OF ALL SAINTS: MAKING GOD VISIBLE

November 1, 2013 By Sarah Christmyer Leave a Comment

Thinking of Halloween and the Feast of All Saints today, and the contrast between Halloween costumes, which are meant to attract attention to themselves, and the stained glass pictures of saints—which allow us to see light in all its multi-colored glory.

A saint is one through whom the light of God is made visible to our eyes.

We are all called to be saints!  Open yourself toward the light of God.  Clean off the dusty windows of your soul.

How will you let God’s light shine through you today?

“Nothing can bring us into close contact with the beauty of Christ himself other than the world of beauty created by faith and light that shines out from the faces of the saints, through whom his own light becomes visible” (Pope Benedict XVI)

Sarah Christmyer writes and speaks about Scripture and the Catholic faith with the goal of helping people meet Jesus in his Word. “The Bible isn’t just a book about God or instructions for a good life; it’s a place to meet God and be changed by him,” she says. Her love of Scripture fuels her writing of Bible studies and related books; her teaching of Philadelphia seminarians; her speaking at conferences and retreats; and writing for blogs such as this one. “Come Into the Word” draws people into the Bible and encourages and equips them to explore it on their own.
