Sermon Notes

  • Sermon on All Saints 2022 Luke 6,21-31.docx

For his All Saints homily, Fr. Allen highlights how saints (all of us who believe in Christ's Way) become Saints (those whom the Great Tradition has highlighted as particularly singular, arresting and public examples of discipleship).  Central to their witness is how they "repurpose the unpromising material of life" and let it shine with God's hope.
