Today, Catholic Christians celebrate the feast of All Saints.
In the early Church, the word “saint” was used to describe all people who believed in Jesus. Later, it was used solely for martyrs, those who gave their lives for the Faith. Later, the term was expanded to include “confessors,” people who suffered because of their Faith, but who were not actually killed for the Faith. Later, it was expanded to include all human souls who are in heaven.
Catholic Christians pray that in God’s infinite love and mercy, all people will go to heaven and become saints. When we say “all,” we mean “all” – everyone who has ever lived, everyone who is alive today, and everyone who will live in the future. That is the Catholic Christian hope.
