ALL SAINTS

Here’s one quotation to walk with today:

"All of the places of our lives are sanctuaries; some of them just happen to have steeples. And all of the people in our lives are saints; it is just that some of them have day jobs and most will never have feast days named for them." 
— Robert Benson in Between the Dreaming and the Coming True: The Road Home to God
