Do you have new or gently used large Christmas bags?. Please consider donating them by dropping them off at a bin in the WLIFC Office. This is for the Hospitality Secret Santa event.
Please consider the messages related to all the Saints that were offered this weekend.

We laugh and we should because Halloween is the great night of costumes. People dress as what they are not. Saints are on the opposite. No mask, no fake name tag. They are who they say they are before God.
And here's the holy surprise about Halloween itself. The name points us towards something sacred. All hallows eve, the evening before All Saints Day.

I recall St. John Paul II reminding the young people during those world youth days. He used to say to the young people, "Do not be afraid to be a saint. Do not be afraid to be saints." He would say, I love that reminder because notice what he did not say. He did not say, "Do not be afraid to be perfect." No, he says, "Do not be afraid to be saints." And there is a difference. Saints are not people who never struggled.

En mi familia particular de niños no éramos intencionales al decir te quiero o te amo. No es costumbre de la familia. Pues después de al crecer nosotros, los hermanos, los hijos, vemos la importancia que eslo en voz a propósito, porque el amor puede ser realo, el amor nombrado puede sanar.
Otra vez, lo que nos ayuda es la cultura cristiana.
La palabra de Cristo no viene a borrar nuestra cultura familiar o cultura nuestra. Viene a viene a encontrar vida y amor dentro de ella. Y los católicos, nosotros, hermanos, somos muy intencionales también, ¿no?
Por ejemplo, creemos en Dios, Trinidad, por eso ya Padre, Hijo, el Espíritu Santo.

Saints are human beings, just like us. With their own struggles, but then in their own weaknesses, in their own frailties, they allow God to transform their very lives.
