“We become what we love and who we love shapes what we become.”

– St Clare of Assisi

Dear brothers and sisters

One of the most fundamental features of our Catholic faith is the belief in the communion between the living and the dead.

Today, we celebrate the feast of a saint who lived the Beatitudes of Christ and followed Him on the path of faithful discipleship. They participated in God’s redemptive work of restoring all things in Christ and making His Kingdom of truth, goodness, and light a reality in the world.

Thus, a saint is not someone motivated merely by an afterlife reward or a self-centred bliss. Sainthood is a summons to active faithful discipleship and mission.

The saints inspire us and intercede for us so that we too can live the Beatitudes of Christ and bring God’s vision to fulfilment.

As you travel on your journey of faith, may all the angels and saints be inspirational guides, leading you ever closer to God.

May you feel the warmth and light of God's unconditional love burning brightly in your soul, just as you have given warmth and light to our brothers and sisters in need through your kind-hearted spirit.

May God bless you and your loved ones on this special feast day, and always.
