A church bulletin for Saint Anthony Mary Claret Catholic Church in Anaheim, California reminds parishioners about God's promise.

"The Church uses these waning November days and darker skies as the season to remind us of the last things," the bulletin reads. "Today’s feast, the Solemnity of All Saints, is the centerpiece of three days that point to doctrines we proclaim each time we say the Apostles’ Creed: 'We believe in the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.'"

The bulletin said that John's vision in Revelation showed dazzling angels and white-robed saints together gathered in triumph around God's throne.

"In the responsorial psalm we sing our longing to see God’s face, and in the second reading John writes that we are God’s children and will, in fact, see God 'as he is' (1 John 3:2)," the bulletin states. "This is our hope. This is God’s promise. Today we celebrate the triumph of those who already gaze on the face of God. Tomorrow we cry out for mercy with those in purgatory, who, like us on earth, still long to see God’s face."
