“Blessed are the poor and spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” - Matthew 5:3
On an All Saints Day prior to election day, Bishop Bo Giertz has magnificent words for us:
All Saints’ Day is about the saints. Even we [Lutherans] talk about saints. As a matter of fact, all Christians can be called “holy.” That’s what they’re called in the New Testament. They’ve been taken away from this world, cleansed in Christ’s blood and united w/Christ himself.

My Grandfather was born a Jew and converted to Lutheranism. Then he killed Nazis at Omaha Beach, before also serving in the Pacific.
