On this Veteran’s Day, we honor all of our brothers and sisters who have served in any branch of the military: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Air Force, and Space Force. We are truly grateful for your DEDICATED service to our great nation. Thank you for your DEDICATED faith. Thank you for your DEDICATED sacrifice. Thank you for your DEDICATED selflessness. May we remain grateful to all of our brothers and sisters who have served with a DEDICATED heart for our country. We also continue to pray for the safety and protection for all those currently serving in the armed forces.

As we approach the END of another liturgical year, we are called to keep the END in mind. The Church in her wisdom celebrates the Feasts of All Saints on November 1st, and All Souls on November 2nd as a way of inviting us to focus on the final destiny of our lives as another church year draws to a close. By acknowledging that our lives here on earth will one day END, we are called to reflect on how to live our lives in the Lord, so that we may share God’s Divine life when we get to the END. May we entrust our lives fully to the Lord as we continue our journey of faith here on earth.

“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s END.”
