Homily given
at the 12 noon Mass on Thursday, November 1, 2012, the Solemnity of
All Saints, by Fr. Ed Fride, Pastor, Christ the King Catholic
Church. Fr. Ed encourages us to enter into a deeper relationship
with our patron saints, especially our Baptismal and Confirmation
saints, and to ask them for their help through their examples,
teachings, and prayers. As we approach the elections, he especially
encourages us to seek the intercession of St. Thomas Becket and St.
Thomas More, two saints who know what it means
to defend the rights of the Church against civil authority that is
trying to strip the Church of the right and power to live in a free
country. (Note: The very beginning of the homily is missing from
the recording.)
Key words: saints,
intercession, faithfulness
