Sunday Evangelium - Totus2us

Fr Marcus: "Today we celebrate our fellow human beings who have made it .. those who have reached the goal of goals, the only one worth reaching - heaven. We are talking about the entire population of heaven .. What are saints but human beings who have realised that they are not just beasts of burden, pleasure seeking machines, alone in the universe as accidents of creation or merely subjects of a distant creator or cause, but rather that they are children of God, given an eternal destiny. They have realised what John the Divine realised, as he wrote in the second reading today. They have realised that Love that created them, that saved them and which brings them home .. Saints produce other saints; sanctity, holiness, is attractive, it is contagious, because we see how we are supposed to be .. This is the Gospel, the Evangelium today - Dare to become a saint!"
