Readings for Sunday, November 1 — Solemnity of All Saints

Revelation 7:2-4, 9-14; Psalm 24:1BC-2, 3-4AB, 5-6; 1 John 3:1-3; Matthew 5:1-12A

Suggested Reflection Questions:

• Read the first reading once more. Imagine yourself in this reading. Where are you? Who are you? What do you see and feel?

• Read the Gospel this weekend and think of who in your life you would call blessed. Where does he/she fit in with today’s Gospel reading? Where do you see yourself fitting in? Where do you want to fit in?

• Today is the feast of All Saints. What are some of the traditions from your childhood or present day life to celebrate this day? How will you celebrate this year?
