Sainthood isn't limited to those recognized by a group of religious leaders. It's granted by God Himself to any common, salt-of-the-earth person who simply trusts Christ (1 Corinthians 1:2). Words matter. And sowing confusion about good, biblical words like "saint" is not from God. "To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Ch...

If we would ask our friends and family to pray for our intentions, why would we not also ask those closest to God – the saints, angels, and particularly the Blessed Virgin – to pray for us? After all, God is not the “God of the dead but of the living, as all are alive in Him” (Luke 20:38).

5 days ago · All Saints Day serves as a solemnity to commemorate all those saints — the vast majority — who are in heaven, albeit not canonized by the Church. The danger is that we can think of All Saints Day merely as a kind of “grab bag” feast. It isn’t. It is the feast par excellence of the Church.
Every saint in Heaven will join a continuous chorus of angelic praise and worship of God. With the Seraphim, Cherubim, and Thrones, the saints will cry “Holy, Holy, Holy…”. With the Dominions, Virtues, and Powers, the saints will participate in God’s providential care of the New Heavens and Earth.
