In this episode, Monsignor Wolf pushes past the noise around Halloween and returns to its heart: All Hallows’ Eve as preparation for All Saints. He explores the communion of saints, how their lives shape ours, and how holiness takes root in real times and places.

• reclaiming Halloween as the vigil of All Saints
• communion with the saints as living friendship
• Stephen’s witness and Paul’s awakening in Acts
• saints formed by history, office and duty
• Miguel Pro, Thomas More and Oscar Romero as concrete models
• one Church across parishes, dioceses and centuries
• Rome’s stones as a sign of living continuity
• the saints’ intercession and patronage today
• becoming holy in our own time, not theirs
