17. Homily for Solemnity of All Saints | Bl. Fra Angelico, O.P.


Listen Later

In the cells of the 15th-century Convent of San Marco, Bl. Fra Angelico, O.P., painted saints whose emotions come alive. Rejecting the lavish colors of prestige, he chose simplicity to mirror the humility of Christ and revealed heaven not as static or distant, but full of friendship, joy, and peace.

His art invites us to glimpse our inheritance: a life perfectly ordered in God. On the Solemnity of All Saints, we are challenged to live as they did - ordering our passions, shaping our hearts, and allowing grace to form in us the “stamp of heaven.”

Fr. Peter Martyr, O.P., invites you to see heaven as vivid, relational, and already calling us to live beautifully, even now.
