The Rev. Mike Angell is rector of The Episcopal Church of the Holy Communion in St. Louis.
In a world that is getting better and better at building walls, God invites us to love radically, following the example of the saints, the doctors, the queens, and all those who came out, who were vulnerable, who embraced others.
There’s a deep invitation in the hymn, in the feast of All Saints. The invitation is to consider how a life well lived, in love and in service of others, prepares us for life after death.
God can and does make new life out of the worst of human circumstances.. Life continues to triumph. Love continues to win. Light continues to shine, even in the darkest corners. Happy Easter!
