For centuries the church has confronted the human community with role models of greatness. We call them saints when what we really often mean to say is icon, star, hero, ones so possessed by an internal vision of divine goodness that they give us a glimpse of the face of God in the center of the human. They give us a taste of the possibilities of greatness in ourselves.
--Sr. Joan D. Chittister
Today we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints!
