On All Saints Day, Pope Francis Invites the Faithful to Be Like the Saints | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Pope Francis invited the faithful to be like the saints and seek to build peace. In a special address to pilgrims at St. Peter's Square on All Saints Day, the Holy Father noted most saints were not perfect. Instead, they lived counter-cultural lives. And for them, the beatitudes, including "blessed are the peacemakers," were like their identity card. Professor of Theology at the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas (ANGELICUM), Fr. Dominik Jurczak, joins to tell us more about the feast of All Saints and how and why we celebrate this day. Looking at the lives of the saints, Fr. Dominik discusses whether there are any traits they have in common. He shares what we can learn from them. Before the Angelus today, Pope Francis talked about how the saints were peacemakers, but above all true revolutionaries. Fr. Dominik fills us in on this.
