ALL you holy men and women

When we discussed the communion of saints at a liturgy team meeting just before All Saints Day, I can remember bemoaning the fact that the book **insert name here**  that lists every saint who is celebrated each day was not translated into English.

But lo, a sign of hope on the vast and great Internets, I glimmer of truth in the great Sea of Lies, a connection to the Communion of Saints in the great Virtual Wasteland. 

Behold!

Now I'm not sure yet if it's comprehensive, but it's a great list, provided it's correct.

So for now,

St. Scholastica of Nursia  Bl. Alexander Baldrati of Lugo     

Bl. Aloysius Victor Stepinac of Zagreb

Sts. Andrew and Aponius, of Bethlehem 
St. Austreberta of Pavilly St. Baldegundis of Poitiers 
Bl. Clare Agolanti of Rimini 
St. Desideratus of Clermont 
St. Erluph of Werden 
Bl. Eusebius of Murano [Eusebio]
Bl. Hugh of Fosse 
Bl. Joseph Louis Sánchez del Río of Sahuayo
Bl. Paganus 
St. Prothadius of Besançon
St. Salvius of Albelda 
St. Silvanus of Terracina 
St. Soteris of Rome 
St. Trumwin of Whitby
St. William of Maleval 
Sts. Zoticus, Irenaeus, Hyacinth, Amantius, and six companions

Pray for us!

The one great thing to love on the earth

Some beautiful words about the Blessed Sacrament:

"Out of the darkness of my life, so much frustrated, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament... . There you will find romance, glory, honor, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves upon the earth, and more than that, death: by the divine paradox, that which ends life, and demands the surrender of all, and yet by the taste (or foretaste) of which alone can what you seek in your earthly relationships (love, faithfulness, joy) be maintained, or take on that complexion of reality, of eternal endurance, that every man's heart desires."

-JRR Tolkien, in a letter to is son.
