You are Called to be a Saint! | One-Minute Homily

First source report

Catholic Intelligence1 min read

Jackson Graham, SJ, reflected on the universal vocation to holiness in a homily for the Solemnity of All Saints.

Graham noted that the Catholic Church includes saints from all walks of life and backgrounds. He cited a teaching from the late Pope Francis that being a saint is a vocation for everyone rather than a privilege for a few.

The homily stated that all people, including the young, the elderly, students, and teachers, are called to follow Jesus. Graham described saints as those who persevere and return to Christ despite having sinned. He encouraged people not to fear holiness, noting that Jesus calls individuals to saintliness through their specific gifts and states of life.
