About today

On 1 November the Church does not count a few famous names. She rejoices in the great multitude that no one can number, from every nation, standing before the Lamb. All Saints is the feast of the baptized who have finished the race, known and unknown, not a club of the impressive. Heaven is a communion, not a ranking. Ask today for a holiness that is ordinary enough to be real, and for communion with those who already see what we hope for.

Opening

God, come to my assistance. Lord, make haste to help me.

Psalm I

Antiphon

A great cloud of witnesses surrounds us — make us holy in ordinary love.

Psalm 72 (71):1–2, 12–13

Catholic Public Domain Version (public domain)

Psalm

Give your judgment, O God, to the king, and your justice to the king’s son, to judge your people with justice and your poor with judgment. For he will free the poor from the powerful, and the poor one who has no helper. He will spare the poor and the indigent, and he will bring salvation to the souls of the poor.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Antiphon

Magnificat

Antiphon

He looks with favor on the lowly; let evening find us among them.

Luke 1:46–55

Catholic Public Domain Version (public domain)

Canticle

And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord. And my spirit leaps for joy in God my Savior. For he has looked with favor on the humility of his handmaid. For behold, from this time, all generations shall call me blessed. For he who is great has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is from generation to generations for those who fear him. He has accomplished powerful deeds with his arm. He has scattered the arrogant in the intentions of their heart. He has deposed the powerful from their seat, and he has exalted the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has taken up his servant Israel, mindful of his mercy, just as he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”

Glory Be

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Antiphon

He looks with favor on the lowly; let evening find us among them.
