SOLEMNITY OF ALL SAINTS - Apocalypse 7:2-4,9-14
Today, we are celebrating the solemnity of All Saints. In Portugal, it is holiday.
We remember and celebrate all those who went before us, all those who have been received in God’s kingdom as his beloved children. This remembrance and this celebration strengthens our hope, because we are on our way, guided by Jesus, to reach our eternal dwelling in God’s kingdom.
Celebrating this day, I put two videos from Lubengele Parish, Chililabombwe, Zambia.
The first presents the Litany of the Saints, where we ask the Saints to intercede for us:
And the second is a song of thanksgiving and praise, the song sang by the choirs of heaven, with words from the book of Revelation.
“Now the salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God
and the authority of his Christ have come,
for the accuser of our brothers
has been thrown down,
who accuses them day and night
before our God.
And they have conquered him
by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony,
for they loved not their lives even unto death". - Rev 12:10-11
