Saints Anonymous

This is the day for celebrating saints most of us don't know, but ones in whose presence we will hopefully spend eternity.

Imagine the stories they could tell about their spans of time on earth!

I love that the Church sets aside today to honor these holy ones, these men and women who overcame all sorts of obstacles to give their hearts to Christ and to be forever with God.

May they pray for us today, and always.

    1. Thank you, Daria! I tried to include several others, but couldn't get the hang of placing them in the post; I wanted to show people in various walks of life.

  4. Yes, we would love to hear all their stories!
    I love Mother Angelica's admonition, "We are all called to be saints..don't miss the opportunity!" The world is full of little hidden saints who (unobserved) follow in the footsteps of those gone on ahead. One day we shall know them. Beautiful post,Nancy.
    bless you xx
