St. Jeanne Jugan, newly canonized in October of 2009, foundress of the Little Sisters of the Poor...
St. Louis, busy and blurry as usual...
St. George is a man of few words and was not sure he wanted to stand up in front of all those people. (St. George is also very brave.)
He's supposed to be St. Isidore, the Farmer. Apparently St. Isidore wore a "John Deere cape". (Because it's green, see.) Everyone at the party called him "St. John Deere."
Today, the Feast of All Saints, we spent running errands, grocery shopping, signing papers, an unscheduled library visit, and finally -- with one of the twins down with the annual All Saints Day fever -- watching the recorded Mass from the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
November always seem to me like a little Lent... after all the candy and celebration, a little sobriety, a little swirl of rain and leaves coming down off the trees, a little remembrance of those who have gone before, the double feasts of All Saints and All Souls.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Angela, This is such a wonderful demonstration of our Catholic heritage for others and to teach about the Saints at the same time. Great work! Rita Plazo
