The feast of All Saints’ Day on Nov. 1 calls to mind the sheer variety of holy people throughout the centuries. The broad range of personalities, vocations, and professions testifies to the fact that holiness is attainable by anyone, regardless of their circumstances.
Some were married, single, or in religious life; some died a martyr or died a natural death. In all cases, the saints are united in their primary goal to get to heaven, and their lives are ordered by this desire.
