St John Henry Newman

“Our hearts were made for You, O Lord, and they are restless until they rest in you.” -St Augustine of Hippo

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints; the day when we commemorate all the saints of the Church.
We live in a world in which secularism is becoming more and more prominent. If we love God, if we say that we are Jesus’ disciples, then we will follow in His footsteps. Get to know Him by serving Him—with love.
Our Scriptures clearly outline the kind of values and virtues that will help us to become more like our Lord if these underpin our lives.

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints. From an early age, we Catholics learned what our role in life should be. During First Communion lessons, when the Catechism teacher asked: “Why did God make you?” The entire class would reply: “God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him forever in heaven.”

“Trust in the Lord my God and turn to Him with all your hearts since nothing is impossible for Him” (St Patrick, Confessio)

Today, March 17, the fifth Sunday of Lent, is also St Patrick’s Day, which is celebrated in many parts of the world. I hope to join my brother, his wife, and their team at Mahogany Carnival Ltd in London as we take part in London’s annual celebration of St Patrick’s Day.
