FROM OUR EDITORS—September 4, 2022 – 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

This week, we remember and honor three saints or blesseds who lived in the twentieth century: Blessed Dina Bélanger (1897–1929) feast day 9/4, Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910–1997) feast day 9/7, and Blessed John Paul I (1912–1978) to be beatified on 9/4. These three models of faithful living from the not-so-distant past serve as good reminders that we are all called to holiness and sainthood. (Learn more about John Paul I and the steps and process of canonization here.)

As this new school and program year gets underway, it’s good to consider our own paths to holiness and sainthood. Keeping our final destination of Heaven always on our minds will help guide our everyday thoughts, words, and actions. May the children in our care find us to be models of faithful living and aspire to holiness—and sainthood—also!
