Happy All Saints Day! As Fr. Matthew reminds us, today we celebrate all the saints — not just those canonized and known to the Church, but also the hidden saints known only to God. These are the souls who lived their lives faithfully, quietly, and heroically, fulfilling the will of God in the ordinary duties of their daily lives. This feast is meant to be your feast day too. God desires every one of us to become a saint, to be counted among the Church Triumphant in Heaven.The Church's liturgical calendar these three days — All Hallows' Eve, All Saints, and All Souls — beautifully unites the three parts of the Church: the Church Triumphant (Heaven), the Church Suffering (Purgatory), and the Church Militant (Earth). Together, we form the one Body of Christ, called to live in holiness and communion. As Fr. Matthew explains, Scripture and Tradition tell us that the saints in Heaven will one day complete the number of angels who fell from grace. When that number is filled, Christ will come again, and the world will be renewed in glory.But sainthood doesn't come through extraordinary deeds alone. Fr. Matthew points us to abandonment to divine providence: sanctity can be reduced to one simple practice — fidelity to the duties God has appointed to you. “Thy will be done” isn't just a prayer — it's a daily way of life. Whether through marriage, priesthood, religious life, or single vocation, holiness comes through doing God's will with love, perseverance, and surrender.As St. John saw in Revelation, the saints are marked with the seal of God on their foreheads — a seal first received in Baptism. To remain faithful to that seal means living out our baptismal promises with purity and love, so that our white garments may remain spotless when we stand before God.Remember, sainthood is not reserved for a few — it's your destiny if you cooperate with grace. Strive each day to purify your heart, grow in virtue, and surrender your will to God. As Fr. Matthew says, “Don't delay becoming a saint.” Purgatory is for those who procrastinate holiness; Heaven is for those who say yes to God now.Watch more inspiring Daily Homilies like this and grow in faith at DivineMercyPlus.org and on the free, ad-free Divine Mercy Plus (DM+) app. Visit the link in bio for prayers, devotions, and Catholic resources to help you live out your call to holiness today.#frmatt #marian #marians #marianfathers #marianhelpers #divinemercy #thedivinemercy #catholic #catholicism #romancatholic #romancatholicism #allsaintsday #communionofsaints #holiness #vocation #grace #heaven #purgatory #faith #virtue #jesus #catholictiktok ★ Support this podcast ★

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Forsaken Streets: When Trust Blooms in Ruin's Shadow Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-11-08-23-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A levelek susogtak a repedezett aszfalton, ahogy Zoltán halkan lépkedett a romos utcákon.En: The leaves rustled on the cracked asphalt as Zoltán quietly walked through the ruined streets.Hu: Budapest most kísértet járta hely volt, az élet nyomai már alig emlékeztettek arra, amit valaha ismert.En: Budapest was now a haunted place, the traces of life barely reminded him of what it once was.Hu: Mindenhol omladozó épületek, burjánzó növényzet.En: Crumbling buildings everywhere, luxuriant vegetation.Hu: Az ősz lassan átvette a hatalmat, és a hideg szél megcsípte az arcát.En: Autumn slowly took over, and the cold wind nipped at his face.Hu: Zoltán egyetlen célja az volt, hogy elegendő élelmet és vizet találjon a közeledő télre.En: Zoltán's sole aim was to find enough food and water for the approaching winter.Hu: Egy másik reménye még erősebben hajtotta: valahol itt lehet a húga, akit keres.En: Yet, another hope drove him even more strongly: somewhere here might be his sister, whom he was searching for.Hu: Óvatos volt, mindig a Rejtőző utcákban mozgott, elkerülte az ismeretleneket.En: He was cautious, always moving through the Hidden Streets, avoiding strangers.Hu: A köd mindent elnyelt, de nem rejthette el a magányosságot, ami folyamatosan ott lebegett körülötte.En: The fog swallowed everything but couldn't hide the loneliness that constantly hovered around him.Hu: Egy napon, amikor egy régi szupermarket maradványait kutatta át, Zoltán hangokat hallott.En: One day, while searching through the remnants of an old supermarket, Zoltán heard voices.Hu: Megfordult, készen állva a menekülésre vagy a harcra, de egy nő állt előtte.En: He turned around, ready to flee or fight, but a woman stood before him.Hu: Eszter gyorsan hátralépett, látva Zoltán védekező testtartását.En: Eszter quickly stepped back upon seeing Zoltán's defensive posture.Hu: „Nem akarok ártani” – mondta csendesen.En: "I don't want to harm you," she said quietly.Hu: „Én is túlélő vagyok.En: "I'm a survivor too.Hu: Csak menedéket keresek.En: Just looking for shelter."Hu: ”Zoltán nem bízott benne rögtön.En: Zoltán didn't trust her right away.Hu: Túl sokszor látott már árulást ebben az új világban.En: Too often he'd seen betrayal in this new world.Hu: Eszter azonban más volt.En: However, Eszter was different.Hu: Nem próbált ráerőltetni semmit, csak megosztotta vele céljait.En: She didn't try to impose anything on him, just shared her goals.Hu: Szeretett volna társaságot, egy biztonságos helyet, ahol újra emberi érzéseket élhet át.En: She longed for company, a safe place where she could experience human emotions again.Hu: Beszélgetni kezdtek, mindketten a helyzetükről, a családjukról és a reményeikről meséltek.En: They began to talk, both sharing their situations, about their families and their hopes.Hu: Zoltán elmondta Eszternek a húga eltűnéséről, Eszter pedig megosztotta, mennyire hiányoznak neki a családjaival töltött ünnepek.En: Zoltán told Eszter about his sister's disappearance, and Eszter shared how much she missed the holidays spent with her family.Hu: Az emlékek között ott volt a Mindenszentek napja, amikor virágokkal borították a sírokat és gyertyát gyújtottak az elhunytak emlékére.En: Among the memories was All Saints' Day, when they covered the graves with flowers and lit candles in memory of the departed.Hu: Hirtelen futólépteket hallottak a közelben.En: Suddenly, they heard running footsteps nearby.Hu: Zoltán érzelmei elárasztották, de most nem volt idő tétovázásra.En: Zoltán was flooded with emotions, but there was no time for hesitation.Hu: „Együtt kell maradnunk” – mondta.En: "We have to stick together," he said.Hu: Eszter bólintott.En: Eszter nodded.Hu: Összefogtak, elmúlt a bizonytalanság perce.En: They joined forces, and the moments of uncertainty passed.Hu: A támadók gyorsan közeledtek, de Zoltán és Eszter együtt szálltak szembe velük.En: The attackers approached quickly, but Zoltán and Eszter faced them together.Hu: Egyesített erejükkel sikerült elkergetniük a veszélyt.En: With their combined strength, they managed to drive away the danger.Hu: Ahogy a támadók eltűntek a ködben, ketten összenéztek, végre megértve egymást.En: As the attackers disappeared into the fog, the two of them exchanged glances, finally understanding each other.Hu: „Talán együtt könnyebb lesz” – mondta Eszter fáradtan, de bizakodón.En: "Maybe it will be easier together," Eszter said tiredly but optimistically.Hu: Zoltán elmosolyodott.En: Zoltán smiled.Hu: Tudta, hogy a bizalom lassan épül, de úgy döntött, hogy ad egy esélyt ennek az új szövetségnek.En: He knew that trust builds slowly, but he decided to give this new alliance a chance.Hu: Így kezdődött valami új.En: Thus began something new.Hu: Zoltán és Eszter megállapodtak, hogy megsegítik egymást a tél folyamán, mégis külön célokkal bírtak.En: Zoltán and Eszter agreed to help each other through the winter, yet they had separate goals.Hu: Zoltán kereshette tovább húgát, míg Eszter remélhette, hogy a magány eltűnik az életéből.En: Zoltán could continue searching for his sister, while Eszter could hope the loneliness would vanish from her life.Hu: A romok közepette újjászületett a bizalom apró magva.En: Amidst the ruins, the tiny seed of trust was reborn.Hu: Egy új remény sugárzott a kihalt utcák felett.En: A new hope shone over the deserted streets.

God grants the status of “saint” (which means “holy one”) to every believer. It might appear that status is of little practical value. If you achieve the status “billionaire” or “celebrity” or “senator” your life is going to be vastly different than most other people, most likely better. But if God calls you a saint, just like everyone else, you will struggle with trials, temptations, and sin. Being a saint does not make life easier. In some ways it makes life more difficult as we struggle against a world that is hostile toward Christ. This might lead us to ask, “Is it really that big a deal that God calls us saints? ”For centuries, the Church has answered that question by celebrating the Festival of All Saints. This week we get a peek at the saints who have died and now live in the glory of Christ's light. Through eyes of faith, we see the saints enjoying glory in the place where “there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain” (Revelation 21:1-6). We realize what a precious gift this status of saint actually is. We understand that soon enough we shall join all the saints in that glorious heavenly city. And that gives us amazing stamina to face the challenges of this world with the strength Christ gives to all his saints.Support the showMessages from the King is produced by King of Kings Lutheran Church in Maitland, FL.To find out more about King of Kings...

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Peace at Balatonfüred: A Journey of Grief and Healing Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-11-07-23-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A Balatonfüred őszi reggelén a fák aranyló leveleit himbálta a lágy szellő.En: On an autumn morning in Balatonfüred, the gentle breeze was swaying the trees' golden leaves.Hu: Magdolna lassan lépkedett a parkban, kezében egy apró csokor krizantém.En: Magdolna was walking slowly in the park, with a small bouquet of chrysanthemums in her hand.Hu: Nem sokkal ezelőtt volt Mindenszentek, és szívét még mindig áthatotta a gyász.En: Not long ago, it was All Saints' Day, and her heart was still filled with grief.Hu: Testvére, Bálint, mellette sétált, próbálta megtörni a csendet vidám történetekkel.En: Her brother, Bálint, walked beside her, trying to break the silence with cheerful stories.Hu: De Magdolna gondolatai máshol jártak.En: But Magdolna's thoughts were elsewhere.Hu: "Gyere, Magdolna, menjünk a fürdőbe.En: "Come on, Magdolna, let's go to the baths.Hu: Meglátod, jobban érzed majd magad" – javasolta Bálint.En: You'll feel better," suggested Bálint.Hu: Kissé vonakodva, de végül beleegyezett.En: Somewhat reluctantly, she agreed in the end.Hu: A fürdő közepén a gőz maga volt az álomvilág.En: In the middle of the bath, the steam was like a dream world.Hu: A hideg novemberi levegővel keveredett, varázslatos aurát teremtve.En: It mixed with the cold November air, creating a magical aura.Hu: A medence szélén Zsuzsa üldögélt, egy helyi asszony, aki észrevette Magdolna letört tekintetét.En: At the edge of the pool sat Zsuzsa, a local woman, who noticed Magdolna's downcast expression.Hu: Odalépett hozzá.En: She walked over to her.Hu: "Szia, nem láttalak még itt" – mondta Zsuzsa barátságosan.En: "Hi, I haven't seen you here before," said Zsuzsa friendly.Hu: Magdolna felemelte fejét, és erőt vett magán, hogy válaszoljon.En: Magdolna lifted her head and mustered the strength to reply.Hu: "Csak nemrég érkeztünk a bátyámmal.En: "We just arrived with my brother.Hu: Szükségem volt egy kis kikapcsolódásra" – mondta Magdolna.En: I needed a bit of relaxation," said Magdolna.Hu: Zsuzsa megértéssel biccentett.En: Zsuzsa nodded with understanding.Hu: "Balatonfüred gyógyít mindent" – tette hozzá mosolyogva.En: "Balatonfüred heals everything," she added with a smile.Hu: Szavaiban valami megnyugtató erő volt.En: There was something soothing in her words.Hu: Ahogy elmerült a forró vízben, Magdolna elmesélte, akaratlanul, fájdalmát.En: As she immersed herself in the hot water, Magdolna involuntarily shared her pain.Hu: Zsuzsa meghallgatta, csendben, bátorítóan.En: Zsuzsa listened, silently and encouragingly.Hu: "Mindenszentek nehéz idő lehet.En: "All Saints' Day can be a difficult time.Hu: De idővel a gyász megszelídül, a szép emlékek maradnak" – mondta Zsuzsa.En: But with time, grief softens, and beautiful memories remain," said Zsuzsa.Hu: A beszélgetés során Magdolna szavakba öntötte fájdalmát.En: During the conversation, Magdolna put her pain into words.Hu: A könnyek kibuggyantak.En: Tears spilled over.Hu: Bálint figyelte a távolból, és látta, hogy nővére arcán mintha enyhülne a bánat.En: Bálint watched from afar and saw that the sorrow seemed to ease from his sister's face.Hu: A nap végén, ahogy Magdolna és Bálint készültek visszatérni a szállásukra, Magdolna megköszönte Zsuzsának a beszélgetést.En: At the end of the day, as Magdolna and Bálint prepared to return to their accommodation, Magdolna thanked Zsuzsa for the conversation.Hu: "Már kezdek békére találni" – ismerte el, mintha egy teher hullott volna le a válláról.En: "I am beginning to find peace," she acknowledged, as if a burden had been lifted from her shoulders.Hu: Ahogy elhagyták a fürdőt, a levelek csendes zuhanása emlékeztette Magdolnát, hogy az újrakezdés lehetséges, a gyász csak egy lépcsőfok a gyógyulás felé.En: As they left the baths, the quiet fall of the leaves reminded Magdolna that starting anew is possible, and grief is just a step on the path to healing.Hu: Ezáltal Magdolna megtanulta, hogy a fájdalom nem feledhető, de átalakulhat szeretett emlékekké.En: In this way, Magdolna learned that pain cannot be forgotten, but it can be transformed into cherished memories.Hu: A Balatonfüred őszi varázsa segítette át a nehéz időkön.En: The autumn magic of Balatonfüred helped her through difficult times.Hu: És ezen a napon ráébredt, hogy a béke valóban elérhetővé válik.En: And on that day, she realized that peace indeed becomes attainable.

Fluent Fiction - Italian: Lost Treasure of Forte dei Marmi: An Untold Adventure Begins Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/it/episode/2025-11-07-23-34-02-it Story Transcript:It: Il vento di novembre soffiava leggero sulla spiaggia di Forte dei Marmi.En: The November wind blew gently on the beach of Forte dei Marmi.It: Mentre le onde s'infrangevano dolcemente sulla riva, due amici camminavano lungo la spiaggia.En: As the waves softly crashed onto the shore, two friends walked along the beach.It: Giorgio, un giovane dai capelli arruffati e gli occhi curiosi, osservava ogni dettaglio del mare.En: Giorgio, a young man with tousled hair and curious eyes, observed every detail of the sea.It: Al suo fianco camminava Elena, con i capelli castani raccolti in una coda, scettica ma silenziosa.En: Walking beside him was Elena, with her brown hair tied up in a ponytail, skeptical but silent.It: Era il giorno di Ognissanti, e la città era calda nei colori dell'autunno e fredda nell'aria.En: It was All Saints' Day, and the city was warm with the colors of autumn and cold in the air.It: Giorgio parlava di leggende e tesori nascosti nel mare, e Elena rideva, nascondendo dietro quel sorriso la sua segreta voglia di avventura.En: Giorgio talked about legends and hidden treasures in the sea, and Elena laughed, hiding behind that smile her secret desire for adventure.It: All'improvviso, un'ombra in lontananza catturò l'attenzione di Giorgio.En: Suddenly, a shadow in the distance caught Giorgio's attention.It: "Guarda, Elena!"En: "Look, Elena!"It: esclamò, indicando la silhouette di una barca alla deriva sulla sabbia.En: he exclaimed, pointing to the silhouette of a boat adrift on the sand.It: Pareva abbandonata da chissà quanto tempo.En: It seemed abandoned for who knows how long.It: Era coperta di alghe e conchiglie, quasi un tutt'uno con la natura circostante.En: It was covered in seaweed and shells, almost one with the surrounding nature.It: "Non dovremmo avvicinarci," disse Elena con prudenza.En: "We shouldn't get closer," said Elena cautiously.It: "Potrebbe essere pericoloso.En: "It could be dangerous.It: E se ci sono problemi con la polizia?"En: And what if there are problems with the police?"It: Giorgio non sentiva ragioni: il desiderio di scoprire cosa si nascondeva dietro quel mistero era troppo forte.En: Giorgio wouldn't listen to reason: the desire to discover what was hidden behind that mystery was too strong.It: "Non posso restare fermo," rispose Giorgio determinato.En: "I can't stand still," Giorgio replied determinedly.It: "Devo sapere di più."En: "I have to know more."It: Con passo deciso si diresse verso la barca, lasciando Elena indecisa sulla riva.En: With a determined step, he headed toward the boat, leaving Elena indecisive on the shore.It: Dopo qualche istante di tensione e incertezza, la curiosità ebbe il sopravvento: Elena lo seguì.En: After a few moments of tension and uncertainty, curiosity got the better of her: Elena followed him.It: La barca era vecchia, ma solida.En: The boat was old but sturdy.It: Con grande cautela, Giorgio ed Elena salirono a bordo.En: With great caution, Giorgio and Elena climbed aboard.It: All'interno era quasi vuota, ma qualcosa attirò l'attenzione di Giorgio.En: Inside it was almost empty, but something caught Giorgio's attention.It: Ai suoi piedi, una tavola del pavimento sembrava diversa.En: At his feet, one floorboard seemed different.It: Con pazienza, sollevò il pannello e rivelò un compartimento nascosto.En: Patiently, he lifted the panel and revealed a hidden compartment.It: Elena trattenne il fiato mentre Giorgio estraeva un'antica mappa ingiallita.En: Elena held her breath as Giorgio extracted an old yellowed map.It: Era criptica, con linee marcate e simboli misteriosi, e suggeriva la posizione di un tesoro perduto del primo Novecento.En: It was cryptic, with marked lines and mysterious symbols, and suggested the location of a lost treasure from the early 1900s.It: "Non possiamo farlo sapere a nessuno," decise Giorgio, col cuore che batteva forte per l'emozione.En: "We can't let anyone know," Giorgio decided, his heart pounding with excitement.It: Elena annuì, il volto illuminato da una nuova scintilla di avventura.En: Elena nodded, her face lit up by a new spark of adventure.It: Alla fine, entrambi si allontanarono dalla spiaggia, promettendosi di seguire gli indizi insieme.En: In the end, they both left the beach, promising to follow the clues together.It: Giorgio aveva trovato non solo un mistero da risolvere, ma anche una nuova forza nella collaborazione.En: Giorgio had found not only a mystery to solve but also a new strength in collaboration.It: Elena scopri in sé una passione nascosta per l'exploring e la libertà.En: Elena discovered in herself a hidden passion for exploring and freedom.It: In una giornata d'autunno, sulla spiaggia di Forte dei Marmi, erano stati compiuti passi importanti in una nuova avventura: quella dell'amicizia e della scoperta.En: On an autumn day, on the beach of Forte dei Marmi, important steps were taken in a new adventure: that of friendship and discovery.

This All Saints' Day sermon presents the idea that beyond the four canonical Gospels, there exists a “fifth Gospel” — the Gospel written in the lives of the saints. These holy men and women, diverse in background, vocation, and temperament, reveal Christ's transforming grace made manifest in human variety. From emperors to hermits, scholars to the simple, their sanctity demonstrates that holiness does not erase individuality but perfects it — making each person more fully themselves in the image of God. The preacher connects this vision to the Beatitudes, emphasizing that true godliness flows not from mere virtue or moralism but from love and union with God. All Saints' Day, then, celebrates not distant perfection but the invitation for every believer to become holy — to join the great multitude of God's friends, known and unknown, who point us ever closer to Christ.

In this moving All Saints' Day homily, Fr. Luke Mary Fletcher invites us to see heaven through the eyes of Dante — as a radiant white rose where every saint shines as a petal in God's glory, with the Blessed Virgin Mary nearest to the divine light. He reminds us that even the smallest acts of love, the prayers for our ancestors, and our quiet sufferings have eternal meaning. We are all “pre-saints” on a journey of purification and grace, destined for that place God has already prepared for us. Drawing together the Feast of All Saints, the mystery of purgatory, and the First Saturday Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, this reflection reveals the victory already won in Christ — and the beauty of a soul fully alive in His light. Whether you're seeking encouragement in your struggles or inspiration to deepen your devotion to Our Lady, this homily reminds you that your story already has a place in the rose of heaven.
