Fr Mark De Battista says the Solemnity of All Saints honours everyone in heaven, not only those formally canonized. Becoming a saint is therefore not a single decision but a lifelong, daily dedication, starting each day with a personal commitment; "Today I want to be a saint."
Deacon Josh Clayton says small groups are essential to Christian life, just as they were central to Jesus’ ministry. Within church communities, small groups allow people to share their struggles, be vulnerable, support one another and serve others, helping them grow as disciples of Christ
Christy Honeysett explains "preferential option for the poor" calls Christians to show special concern for the poor, marginalised and disadvantaged, recognising them as brothers and sisters in God’s family
Bishop Tony Percy reflects on Jesus naming the greatest commandment. Jesus builds on the decalogue, the Ten Commandments, the first three concerning God and the remaining seven concerning neighbour. Love of God and love of neighbour upholds fundamental human values and helps build a free and fair society
Fr John Corrigan says Jesus’ call to love God and our neighbour with body, mind, heart, and soul leads to the harder challenge of loving ourselves. Jesus does not expect us to make ourselves perfect before approaching him; instead, he invites us to open every part of our lives to his love.
