After the Blessed Fifty days, The Call to Become Saints

June 2026

Again and again we are reminded that Pentecost is not just the celebration of an event that happened centuries ago. It is the celebration of what can happen, what does happen, and what must happen in the Church today. In baptism we all have died and risen with the Messiah-King.

On June 7, the Sunday after Pentecost, we celebrate the feast of All Saints. This is a logical sequence since the purpose of the coming of the Holy Spirit is fulfilled by us becoming saints. This is indeed the very purpose of the creation and salvation of the world. (I Peter 1:15-16

Jul 2 — Saint John [Maximovitch], Archbishop of Shanghai and San Francisco

Your care for your flock in its sojourn prefigured your prayers, which you always offer up for the whole world. Thus we believe, having come to know your love, O holy hierarch and wonderworker John. Wholly sanctified by God through the ministry of the all-pure Mysteries, and ever strengthened by them yourself, you hastened to the suffering, O healer, easing their afflictions. Hasten now to help us, who honor you with all our heart.
