All Saints Day

Matthew 5:1-12
Jesus teaches what it means to be happy.
In the Catholic Church calendar, tomorrow marks the Feast of All Saints. The saints devoted their lives to God and serve as examples of how to live holy lives, following the teachings of Jesus. In the Gospel, Jesus teaches the meaning of being blessed, or truly happy, and shares many ways to live in this happiness. One teaching is, “Blessed are the peacemakers.” The saints honoured on this feast day were peacemakers. How can peace be created and shared at home and at school?
