On All Saints Day, two days before the election: the saints have a way of reminding us that our moment is just that, our moment. There have been moments like this before. There have been moments when hate has held sway over a large portion of the population. There have been times when violence and threats of violence were all around. The saints helped us survive. The saints helped chart the way through.

Contending with Evil
Today we hear the story of Michael defeating the dragon. Today we tell ourselves again that the angels are stronger than the demons, that love is more powerful than hate.
Deepening our Commitment
We are a people of faith, and let me tell you a secret: Spirituality is not about accumulating hours of prayer for the sake of appearing holy. Spirituality isn’t just about Sunday morning. Spirituality is about deepening.
By your endurance you will gain your souls.
Doing justice, loving mercy, walking humbly with God is what the Lord requires of us whichever party currently holds sway.
