A Catholic's Companion: "Blessed and Holy are those who turned the time of trial into a moment of grace.
Holy are those who choose peace in a violent situation.
Blessed are those who live in simplicity amid overflowing stuff.
Thanks and praise to those who live gently in an often angry and competitive environment.
How wonderful are those who show mercy and kindness in an uncaring time.
Holy and Blessed are those who choose purity in a depraved age.
Thanks and praise to those who act in justice with the weak and the powerless, the downtrodden and homeless, the old and the young.
Holy are those who choose less in an abundant and consumer society.
O Gracious God and Father, we gather this day to thank and praise you and those who choose your way. These are the Holy Ones, the Saints of the ages. Fill us with your Spirit. Help us to choose the better way and be numbered among your Saints, among those who dine at the Feast in your Kingdom.
