“Blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it.” Holy souls have done just that: they have heard the word of God and they have kept it. And now, as the Book of Wisdom tells us: “They are at peace.” Were they ready to meet God?
Of course, they were. Read today’s gospel. It is Jesus’ teaching of the Beatitudes – from Matt. 5:1-12. Pick one of Jesus' descriptions: the poor in spirit, those who mourn, those who hunger for righteousness, the peacemakers? You know people that each description fits. Let us thank God for their witness. Sing Alleluia for them. Sing it loud and from the heart, for they and we, are always Easter people. We are a people who celebrates, even in our sadness of death, the glory of the Resurrection – Jesus’ and ours.
Today, we remember in a special way Loretto members Barbara Beam CoL, Alice Kitchen CoL and Pat Frueh SL.
“Let perpetual light shine upon them.”

Out of darkness the light of Christ will shine
As the dawn of day breaks through the night.
All of us know saints. As we think about their blessedness, we give thanks for their witness to Jesus and His words to us. Are they perfect? No, they are not but they know Jesus’ teachings and show us the way into God’s love.
Were they ready to meet God? Is anyone? Start a list of all those people living you would call a saint. Each one of those people are invited by God into God’s life. Daily they walk with God to love and be loved, to give and not expect praise, to be grateful for all that God has given and to be joyful. Did you put your name on the list?
Let us pray:
Let us give thanks for the saints we knew and for all saintly people. May we be as intentional in our actions as they were. May we remember the dignity of each person we meet, knowing that they are walking around shining like the sun, reflecting the love of God for all people and all creation.
