ARGENTINA, Silvia Gaias. October 31st many remember and celebrate Halloween, or All Hallow’s Eve, the vigil of All Saints’ Day, in the literal sense. At St. Benjamin’s Primary School in Argentina, the following proposal was accomplished along with the entire educational community: on this day, celebrate the Feast of All Saints.

The incentive was from the third grade children who recently had been confirmed, and as a result put their discipleship into effect like true disciples and missionaries of Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit.

The celebration was very simple; the children dressed like angels taking on the heroic values and virtues of other children like them who lived ordinary lives extraordinarily. They were interested in the life of Blessed Laura Vicuña, St. Dominic Savio, Saints Justo and Pastor, and the little shepherds of Fatima: Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco. Soon they met in front of the wayside shrine of the Blessed Mother, Mary’s Garden, to renew their consecration to the Mother of Heaven, and ask for help to live in the grace of God with complete joy and with all their strength.

It is a small contribution to a society hurt by all the violence inflicted mainly from the mass media that shows a world without God, with values based on consumption and where the words, Holy Virtue, have almost disappeared.

The principal companion on this path is the Mother of Jesus. Therefore it is necessary to turn to her daily asking her to educate each one as she did her son, Jesus, thereby transforming them into true saints in everyday life.
