All Saints Sunday
November 2, 2025
In holy baptism God makes saints out of sinners. In holy communion God forgives the sins of all the saints. In worship today we give thanks for all the saints “who from their labors rest.” In the same breath we petition our God for the strength to hear and to heed the admonitions of Jesus in today’s gospel. Sealed by the Spirit and sustained by the Savior’s body and blood, we live with joy as God gives us breath, to the praise of God’s glory.
Daniel 7:1-3, 15-18
The holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingdom
Psalm 149
Sing the Lord’s praise in the assembly of the faithful. (Ps. 149:1)
Ephesians 1:11-23
God raised Christ from the dead and made him head over all the church
Luke 6:20-31
Jesus speaks blessings and woes
Wholly Saints
Who are the saints, and what do they have to say to us? Rather than being perfect Christians, the saints are people who have been made whole by the grace of God, through baptism into Christ. The communion of saints is a diverse array of witnesses who remind us of God’s continuing faithfulness, past, present, and future. In the picture painted by the gospel reading from Luke, the saints challenge us to embody the surprising, world-reversing ways of the reign of God.
