In my neck of the woods the New Orleans Saints have everyone buzzing. The 3-0 start reminds everyone of that magical year in 2006 when, after Katrina, the Saints fell just a play or two short of a trip to the Super Bowl. Who can forget what became the rallying cry; not just for the football team beloved by the faithful but for a community that is coming back from one of the greatest natural AND man-made disasters in the history of America:

So on this last day of September, as October brings the hope of autumn weather I'm excited about the Saints that are coming. A quick glance of my calendar and we see October 1st, St. Theresa of the Child Jesus, October 2nd, the Guradian Angels (ok they are not Saints but Angels count too), October 4th, St. Francis of Assisi, October 5th, St. Faustina, October 6th, Saint Bruno, October 7th, Mary under the title Our Lady of the Rosary, October 9th, St. Denis (threw that one in for my previous boss who happens to be named Denis), October 10th, St. Daniel.
And the list goes on. October brings us much joy with the Saints. Yes, the 3-0 Saints have been exciting to watch and cheer on, but these Saints are an unbeatable team, interceeding for us and praying with us as the Body of Christ that worships and glorifies God.
The Saints are coming!
