Hear the messages that Father Jeremiah delivers each week
to the congregation of Grace Anglican.
As we reflect upon the meaning of All Saints’ Day, we remember that the saints are the holy ones of God. The holiness they have though is not a holiness they create, but one that is given to them by the work of Christ.

What is a saint? What is holiness? What does this have to do with baptism? Father Jeremiah explores these questions in his sermon for All Saints’ Sunday.

All Saints’ Day is an important feast in the life of the Church. We celebrate and remember the saints who have died, those known and unknown. In our celebrations, we should especially remember those saints who have especially influenced and led us toward maturity in Christ.

When Jesus came to Jericho, no one would have expected him to stay with the man Zacchaeus. And yet Jesus does. Why? Because Jesus came to seek and save the lost. And Zacchaeus’ encounter with Jesus changes him completely. What does this mean for us today?
