Every year the Church recalls the example, witness, and prayer
of the holy women and men who have been identified by the
Church as Saints. These saints are more than just role models;
they are family members with whom we continue to share
relation, in a bond of prayer, called the Communion of Saints.
Every year when we celebrate this day, the Gospel we proclaim
recalls for us Jesus' teaching about happiness, the Beatitudes. We
quickly note in this reading that none of those Jesus names as
“blessed” or “happy” are expected . . . the poor in spirit, the meek,
the persecuted. Jesus' blueprint for happiness reflects little of what
the world might call happiness.
What does Jesus mean when he uses the word “blessed?” This
word is sometimes translated as “happy” or “fortunate” or
“favored.” In other words, Jesus is saying that divine favor is
upon those who are poor, who mourn, who are persecuted. This
might have been welcome and surprising news to the crowds who
heard Jesus that day.
The Beatitudes can be understood as a framework for Christian
living. Because of this, it is natural that we proclaim this Gospel
on the Feast of All Saints. Saints are people who lived the spirit of
the Beatitudes as Jesus lived. On this day, we too are challenged
to model our lives on the spirit and promises of the Beatitudes. … Loyola Press
