\"All<\/a>
\nO<\/span>nce again we come to a feast of All Saints. “But wait!” I hear you cry, “wasn’t that back on the first of November<\/a>?”<\/p>\n

Right you are! But today on the Benedictine calendar<\/a> is the feast of All Saints of the Benedictine Order.<\/p>\n

T<\/span>herefore,<\/em> since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.<\/p>\n

(Hebrews 12:1-2<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In fact, many Orders (and some countries<\/a>) have their own All Saints and All Souls days.<\/p>\n
