"Crowds possess power. They initiate political revolutions and overthrow governments. They contribute to home-field advantage in sports and stage fright in the performing arts. Whether violent like the mob that descended on the Bastille in Paris in 1789, or peaceful like the marchers of the civil rights movement, large groups of people have the potential to exert significant influence.
"[Yesterday] the Church [set] a sizable crowd before us for contemplation - namely, all the saints. Celebrating every citizen of heaven in a single feast - both the well-known, memorialized patrons and the obscure, forgotten intimates of Christ - highlights just how many saints there are.. . ."In a recent commentary, Brother Samuel Trecost, O.P., reflected on the multiplicity of the saints tha, among other attributes, "demonstrates that holiness is possible regardless of our state in life or our past."
