		In the feast of All Saints which we had yesterday, we, the saints who are still struggling on earth (the church militant), celebrate fellowship with the saints who have already arrived in heavenly glory (the church triumphant).

		Today we celebrate our fellowship with the saints in purgatory, a state of temporary suffering for departed souls who are not yet fully ready for full fellowship with God in the glory of heaven (the church suffering).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Irish Literature
		After the seventh century the Irish brought their rhyming system to a pitch of perfection undreamt of by any nation in Europe, even at the present day, and it is no exaggeration to say that perhaps by no people was poetry so cultivated and, better still, so remunerated as in Ireland.
		More important than these, however, are the lives of the saints, because many of them, dating back to a very remote period, throw a great deal of light on the manners of the early Irish.
		Certain it is that as early as the seventh century we find the Irish had brought the art of rhyming verses to a high pitch of perfection, that is, centuries before most of the vernacular literatures of Europe knew anything at all about it.

		For all their soul scouring, what the secular saints fail to realize is that their happiness -- the very luxuriance of their quest for happiness -- is inexorably tied to their privilege.
		Like any good secular saint, Winfrey takes the sting off her own perfection by telling us what a fallible person she was before being permanently ennobled by trauma.
		In the January issue of O, she approvingly quotes author Gary Zukav: "Your life is a journey to learn about yourself.") Now, if I understand the concept correctly, we are all making roughly the same journey; the secular saints are just the lucky ones who get to vault ahead.

		The doctrine of theosis or deification in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints differs significantly from that of orthodox Christian theology (note, not only Eastern Orthodox).
		Distinctively, in Protestantism theosis sometimes implies the doctrine of entire sanctification which teaches, in summary, that it is the Christian's goal, in principle possible to achieve, to live without any sin (Christian perfection).
		Theosis comprehends salvation from sin, is premised upon apostolic and early Christian understanding of the life of faith, and is conceptually foundational in both the East and the West.

	American Jesus: How the Son of God became a National Icon, by Stephen Prothero. Reviewed by G. Richard Wheatcroft.
		Part Two, titled Reincarnations, focuses “on rebirths of Jesus in outsider communities, including the black church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and American Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism.” He devotes a chapter to each of these traditions, highlighting the changes in the image of Jesus that have occurred during their history in America.
		Jesus was seen as avatar, an example of an embodiment of divinity on earth whose role is “to inspire us to achieve the perfection of a “direct realization of God” which Jesus achieved.
		His search is for the “American Jesus - Jesus as he has been interpreted and reinterpreted, construed and misconstrued, in the messy midrash of American culture.” In this context, he highlights images of Jesus found in theological works, novels, biographies, films, musicals, hymns and the visual arts.
