Hat tip once again to Jackie Parkes at Catholic Mom of 10 for this extra cute little one dressed as Mother Teresa for an early celebration of All Saints over in America! (The full story is on the Blog called Journey to Therese linked to Jackie's story).Check out Jackie's story at -

This puts us in mind of a memorable episode of Mother Angelica Live! where Mother spent the evening of Halloween surrounded by innocent, little children dressed as saints for a little alternative party which focused on the light of Christ present in our world, rather than dressing children up as demons or lost souls.
3 John 11 teaches -
'Beloved do not imitate evil but imitate good. He who does good is of God; he who does evil has not seen God.'Â
It therefore seems very appropriate for Catholic families to choose to have a party anticipating the great Feast of All Saints. We know of several families and groups who celebrate this date in this manner, giving lots of fun to the kids, whilst helping them to learn more about their faith, and at the same time learning to resist some of the worst examples of the glorification of evil manifested by contemporary culture. Â
Of course now that this feast day has been moved to the Sunday things fall a little out of step... but that's another story!
