Thought for Wednesday November 1

Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.
The LORD's are the earth and its fullness;
the world and those who dwell in it.
For he founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the rivers.
Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.

Revelations 7: 2 – 4,9 – 14  Then one of the elders spoke up and said to me, "Who are these wearing white robes, and where did they come from?" I said to him, "My lord, you are the one who knows."  He said to me, "These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress; they have washed their robes and made them white in the Blood of the Lamb."

Do the examples of the saints who have “survived the time of great distress” inspire me?  What would I have to change in my life to qualify for beatification?

Action:  Make sainthood your goal (just don’t plan to be martyred).
