All Saints Day




Today is "All Saints Day" 

I could tell you many things about the saints, but I won't considering that I am still learning about them myself.

First of all let me tell you a story

One day a priest asked a bunch of people a question

Who wants to go to Heaven?

almost all the hands in the room went up.

then he asked another question.

Who wants to be a saint?

most of the hands went down.

the priest replied "well then you all don't want to go to heaven" a bunch of puzzled faces looked at him he responded with "if you go to heaven then you are a Saint."
 
Our life long goal should be to go to heaven and be a saint. mine is.

One Long Litany of Saints

We went to mass today at "ICC" to fulfill our holy day of obligation. Fr.Richard started out his homily by jokingly saying he was going to list all the names of the saints, everyone laughed.

On the way home someone mentioned what if he really did that? He would be there forever. What if everyone left? Would he give out a prize if you sat through all the names of the saints? As we laughed at his little joke,  We started naming off all the names of the saints we could remember. It has been over two and a half hours and we are still naming them of. My mother mentioned that was one long "Litany of Saints."     

Until next time this is Mylea Janis Teresa saiyng God Bless, Be Joyful and don't forget to Pray!
