Daily Reflection: Monday, November 1
November 1 Solemnity of All Saints
Blessed….
Blessed are they….
Blessed are you…. (Mt. 5:1ff)
God saw how good it was, and God blessed them…. (Gen 1:21)
We celebrate God’s goodness in all the saints, the great ones and the small ones. God blessed them with grace and goodness. We have seen it and give thanks. They live with God forever.
On this day of rejoicing, shouldn’t we also rejoice and give thanks for God’s generosity everywhere, not just in the human family, but in all that God has made, in all that God does?
God’s blessing is not done. We are all blessed.
