All Saints’ Day … so what is a saint anyway?

Morning: Psalms 111, 112; Hebrews 11:32-12:2

Evening: Psalms 148, 150; Wisdom 5:1-5, 14-16; Rev 21:1-4, 22-22:5

A saint is one who is becoming contented with herself; she trusts that the earth is well made, too.  Wendell Berry (modern saint) says: “For God's sake, be done with this jabber of ‘a better world’. What blasphemy! No ‘futuristic’ twit or child thereof ever in embodied light will see a better world than this. Do something! … The day is clear and bright, and overhead the sun not yet half finished with his daily praise.” A saint sees and knows that everything we need is here already; he lives in celebration of and gratitude for such plenty, wanting nothing.
