Morning Reading
Many that practice Christian faith, orthodox and not orthodox, celebrate All Saints Day on the first Sunday of November. I shared these words about that on my Facebook page.
Dia de los Muertos and All Saints (Souls) Day reminds us of those important to our individual lives, and our communities, that crossed from this life into the full presence of the divine. We grieve their absence and give thanks for their lives. Most of those I remember would not consider themselves saints, but imperfect human beings doing the best they could to live the great commandment or golden rule in their walk of life. They set for me an example for which my thanks is to do the same for others. Celebrate your saints well today.
