SOLEMNITY OF ALL SAINTS November, 1, 2020 "[Jesus said to His disciples,] 'Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied'..." (Matthew 5:6). We commemorate all the saints in heaven, whether they have been canonized by the Catholic Church or not. This photo album notes some of the canonized saints, those who have been beatified (last stage before canonization), and candidates for canonization of African descent. Of course we have not listed them all here. They are models of holiness for Christians of every nation, race, people, and tongue (cf. Revelation 7:9). All holy men and women in heaven, pray for us to God! #BlackCatholicHistory

As a Catholic who has been actively engaged in a number of issues, including pro-life concerns and refugee resettlement, Crawford said he hopes that there can be widespread agreement about this among people of faith from all political persuasions. "Every individual person matters, and, in that sense, in the United States, you have a right to vote. You have a voice. That's why I care about this," he said. As for what he's expecting of Catholic Church leaders especially in a... worst-case scenario he said the new few weeks will be revealing. "If there's a clear winner and the loser refuses to concede, there will be a moment when the bishops' conference and leaders across religious traditions will need to step up and be clear about protecting our institutions," he warned. For now, he cites the title of the bishops' 2018 pastoral letter against racism, "Open Wide Our Hearts," and said in that same spirit, "our voting system has to be open to everyone." "That's a message they [the bishops] can hammer home, and I'd love to have them amplify that," he said. #OCCatholic #Vote #EveryoneCounts #LifeAndDignity We Are Salt and Light Poverty USA by CCHD
