All Saints Day and All Souls Day begin the month of November, when the fall reminds us that life passes away. But does life end or does it change? “Life is changed, not ended” our faith says. 

St. Martin de Porres (Friday) reminds us of the holiness found in those who care for the sick and the needy.

St. Charles Borromeo (Saturday) was a reformer of the Catholic Church at the time of the Reformation. He promoted the movement of reform that followed the Council of Trent. 

Readings from the Letter to the Romans conclude this week with interesting greetings to various members of the Roman church, both Jewish Christians and Greeks.

Morning and Evening Prayers here.
