All Saints' Day

All Saints' Day (in the Roman Catholic Church officially
 the Solemnity of All Saints
and also called All Hallows or Hallowmas^[1]), 
often shortened to All Saints, is a solemnity celebrated 
on 1 November by parts of Western Christianity,
 and on the first Sunday after Pentecost in Eastern Christianity,
 in honor of all the saints, known and unknown.

In Western Christian theology, the day commemorates 
all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven.
 It is a national holiday in many historically Catholic countries. 
In the Roman Catholic Church, the next day, 
All Souls' Day, 
specifically commemorates the departed faithful 
who have not yet been purified and reached heaven. 
Catholics celebrate 
All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day 
in the fundamental belief 
that there is a prayerful spiritual communion 
between those in the state of grace 
who have died and are either being purified in purgatory 
or are in heaven (the 'church penitent' and the 'church triumphant',
 respectively), and the 'church militant' who are the living. 
Other Christian traditions define,
remember and respond to the saints in different ways.

Eastern Christians of the Byzantine Tradition follow the earlier tradition of commemorating all saints collectively on the first Sunday after Pentecost, 
All Saints' Sunday.

The feast of All Saints achieved great prominence in the ninth century,
 in the reign of the Byzantine Emperor, Leo VI "the Wise" (886.911). 
His wife, Empress Theophano.commemorated on December 16.lived a devout life. 
After her death in 893,^[2] 
her husband built a church, intending to dedicate it to her. 
When he was forbidden to do so, 
he decided to dedicate it to "All Saints," so that if his wife were in fact one of the righteous,
 she would also be honored whenever the feast was celebrated.
^[3] According to tradition, 
it was Leo who expanded the feast from a commemoration of All Martyrs 
to a general commemoration of All Saints, 
whether martyrs or not.

This Sunday marks the close of the Paschal season.
 To the normal Sunday services are added special scriptural readings 
and hymns to all the saints (known and unknown) from the Pentecostarion.

The Sunday following All Saints' Sunday.
the second Sunday after Pentecost.is set aside as a commemoration of all locally venerated saints,
 such as "All Saints of America", "All Saints of Mount Athos", etc. 
The third Sunday after Pentecost may be observed for even more localized saints, 
such as "All Saints of St. Petersburg", or for saints of a particular type, 
such as "New Martyrs of the Turkish Yoke."

In addition to the Sundays mentioned above, 
Saturdays throughout the year are days for general commemoration of all saints, 
and special hymns to all saints are chanted from the Octoechos.

“For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.” ― St. Thérèse de Lisieux

-->You knew all my intimate thoughts and cleared up all my doubts. I once told you how astonished I was that God does not give equal glory in heaven to all His chosen. 

Iwas afraid they were not at all equally happy. 

You made me bring Daddy’s tumbler and put it by the side of my thimble. 

You filled them both with water and asked me which was fuller. I told you they were both full to the brim and that it was impossible to put more water in them than they could hold. And so, Mother darling, you made me understand that in heaven God will give His chosen their fitting glory and that the last will have no reason to envy the first. By such means, you made me understand the most sublime mysteries and gave my soul its essential food. –St. Thérèse of Lisieux, The Story of a Soul.  

St. Therese of the child Jesus - writings and sayings

Therese on Love and Suffering

"What a joy to be able to suffer for Him whom we love!"

"Let us not believe that we can love without suffering, and without suffering a great deal. It is our human nature that suffers, our poor God-given human nature which, however, is so precious, that Jesus came on purpose to our earth to clothe Himself with it.

Let us suffer without bitterness, that is, without feeling courage. Jesus suffered with sadness. Could we say that a soul was suffering if it did not experience sadness? And could we then claim that we are suffering generously, nobly... Celine... what an illusion that would be!"

"If you wish to feel and to have an attraction for suffering, you are in search of your own consolation, for when we love anything, pain disappears."

"Holiness does not consist in saying beautiful things, it does not even consist in thinking them, in feeling them! It consists in suffering and in suffering everything. «Holiness – it has to be conquered at the point of the sword, one has to suffer… one has to agonize!... »"
