Autumn Triduum Retreat

Snapshots of Sanctity, Habits of Holiness

Led by Fr. Joe Nassal

Each Autumn, we celebrate a Triduum of feasts — All Hallows Eve, All Saints, and All Souls — to remember how God makes us worthy to be saints by calling us children of God.

When we look through the photo album of our faith, family, and community life, we see many snapshots of sanctity.

Often those we call “saints” are no longer with us. Look closely at these holy cards, these pictures of priestly people, and you will see how they are all dressed in the garment of grace. Their habit is holiness.

Trace the threads in these habits of holiness and you will see woven into the fabric of their lives the qualities described in the Beatitudes (Matthew 5, 1-12).

This retreat seeks to deepen our desire to live as children of God now as we discover sanctity is not for a chosen few but for all.

• We invite you to bring pictures of those in your life whose holiness inspired you on your journey of faith.
