We are continuing a series on the Beatitudes from Matthew 5:1-12. The theme for November 10 is "Blessed are the pure in heart."

All Saints’ Day is a time to rejoice in all who through the ages have faithfully served the Lord. The day reminds us that we are part of one continuing, living communion of saints. All Saints’ Day goes to the heart of our faith: death has not won (1 Cor. 15:55-57); in all we do we are accompanied by fellow Christians, living and dead (Heb. 12:1); and we will in the end join others in praising God eternally (Rev. 7:9-10). This day is a significant opportunity to remember the saints who have gone before us. In many churches, All Saints’ Day serves as a congregation’s “memorial day,” where the names of church members who have died in the past year are remembered.
