Solemnity of All Saints
(Dakilang Kapistahan ng Lahat ng Mga Banal)

Liturgical Color: White


Short catechesis:

The Eight Beatitudes:

1. The poor in spirit who are truly blessed, those who are radically dependent on God’s grace and guidance, those who are humble.

2. Those who both mourn and are truly blessed are those who, in spite of their own sufferings, still help and comfort others.

3. The meek and blessed at once, i.e., at the same time, are those who bear reproaches, slights and criticisms with moderation. They do not embark on revenge. They do not get angry easily and are free from bitterness. In short their spirit is tranquil and stable.

4. Those who both are (1) blessed and (2) hunger and thirst for justice are those persons who devote thier lives to attain the vindication of what is right, here and now!

5. Those who are both (1) blessed and (2) merciful are not only those who show pity for someone in trouble. Instead being both blessed and merciful is manifested by how one concretely works for the alleviation of the sufferings of another.

6. To be blessed and at the same time pure of heart is to center one’s life on God in and
through one’s concern for others.

7. A truly blessed peacemaker is one who pits himself against all the obstacles to attaining true peace, even if it may cost him his own safety, and if need be, his own life.

8. Persecution for true righteousness is blessed, for this is righteousness for Christ. A suffering born of love and commitment is a suffering which is truly united with the suffering of the Crucified Christ. Such suffering is salvific and redemptive of others.


Readings:

1R: Revelations 7:2-4, 9-14. John, the acknowledged author of the Revelations writes about his vision: One angel, carrying the seal of the living God, warns four other angels, “Do not harm the earth until we have put marks on the foreheads of those who are faithful to God.” Then everybody—humans, angels, elders, mythical creatures—bowed down and praised and worshipped the Lamb and the Throne.

RP: 24 Lord, this is the people that long to see Your Face.

2R: 1 John 3:1-3 We are children of God. We shall be like Christ, for we shall see Him as He is.
