All Saints Day Liturgy

 
Good afternoon everyone,

Today I would like to take a second to share with you all something special about Albertus Magnus College.  Every year we have a mass in memory of deceased friends and alumni.  It is a special ceremony and this year I got to be a part of it.  I was the cross barer  and I also was able to read a psalm.  At first I was really nervous.  The cross weighed a lot more than what I had anticipated.  It was also difficult to put it back into the stand on the alter.  I felt like a train wreck but everyone said I did well.  Then, when it came to my psalm reading, I was even more nervous.  I did not look up once at all. 

Even though my nerves got the best of me, I felt really good to be a part of something.  I was in a ceremony that honored our deceased loved ones.  It reminded me of all the loved ones I too have lost.  It is nice to have something special to honor them.
