You Are Called to Be a Saint: The Only Way to Heaven | Fr. Mark Baron, MIC
Why do so many songs speak of heaven? In this All Saints Day reflection, Fr. Mark Baron, MIC, considers how music touches our souls, awakens memories of loved ones we have lost, and expresses our longing for something beyond this life. Secular songs can echo our grief and our hope, but they cannot give the full answer to the deepest desire of the human heart. Only God knows how glorious heaven truly is, and the saints who are with Him now are already experiencing that joy.
All Saints Day reminds us of a powerful truth: we are all called to be saints. Heaven is not only something to think about—it is the destination we are called to choose. The way to heaven is Jesus Christ, and following Him means beginning to live the life of heaven even now. Through the Beatitudes, Jesus shows us what holiness looks like: humility, mercy, purity of heart, faithfulness, and love. We are called to live on earth with our hearts set on heaven and to allow God’s grace to transform us into the saints He created us to be.

As Advent unfolds, Fr. Mark reminds us that the season is not only about remembering Israel’s longing for the Messiah, nor only about anticipating Christ’s Second Coming—it's about recognizing how He comes to us right now. And for that, we need two essential forms of knowledge: knowledge of God and knowledge of ourselves.
