A Program for Holiness:

We pause our reading of the final pages of Matthew to go back to the beginning of Jesus' ministry in his sermon on the mount, where a new and perfect Moses gives us a new and perfect Law.

We celebrate the "saints," those who have not been raised to the altars, but whom we know in our hearts are "saints," by recalling the gifts God gives us that make us holy.

This program for holiness places the Christian somewhat at odds with a secular world, but there is much that we can do for that world if we respond generously to God's gifts. Today we praise and thank God for the many "saints" we have known and loved, and we ask that we too may grow in holiness.

Presented by world-renowned biblical scholar Rev. Professor Francis J. Moloney SDB AM, Audio Divina, is a Lectio-Divina styled reflection on the gospel for All Saints Day, Year A.
