This week’s meditation from Catholic Extension President Emeritus Bishop William R. Houck:

Here we are on the threshold of November, the month in which our Catholic culture raises awareness of our call to holiness through the example of so many good people. In addition, November urges us to reflect on our future eternal life as we remember prayerfully all the faithful departed.

The Feast of All Saints instills for some and recalls for others the endeavor of fellow human beings who successfully embraced our Catholic faith and accepted the invitation of Jesus to take up your cross daily and come follow Him if you wish to be His disciple.

Do you have a “favorite saint” to whom you are attracted and whom you admire and try to imitate? What about our own patron saint? Do we honor them on the anniversary of our baptism? This feast honors all saints but in a special way those who lived the faith generously but are not officially recognized individually by the Church. Hopefully most of us are falling into that category!

God our Father, source of all holiness, the work of your hands is manifest in your saints, the beauty of your truth is reflected in their faith.

May we who aspire to have part in their joy be filled with the Spirit that blessed their lives, so that having shared their faith on earth we may also know their peace in your kingdom. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

 —All Saints’ Day Mass, Alternate Opening Prayer

Today is the feast of St. John Bosco, one of my favorite saints. Because he was devoted to the care of the young, through the Salesian brothers, I was able to spend my young years in the Fatima chapel attending catechesis and serving the Lord at a very young age.. filling the vases with flowers for our Lady. This is a picture of him, with the novena at the back, that I had been keeping for years. Happy Feast Day, St. John Bosco! 💙 Novena Prayer to St. John Bosco In need of special help, I appeal with confidence to you, O Saint John Bosco, for I require not only spiritual graces but also temporal ones, and particularly (here mention the grace required). May you, who on earth had such great devotion to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, and to Mary Help of Christians, and who always have compassion for those who were in suffering, obtain from Jesus and from His Heavenly Mother the grace I know request, and also a sincere resignation to the will of God. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father. #SaintJohnBosco #Prayforus #Catholic #catholicchick #Saint #wornoutphoto #favoritesaint #vaticanrosary
