A few years ago, a radio station ran a contest. Disc jockeys invited their listeners to tune in their clock radios.

Nov 1 - All Saints day
From Fr. Tony Kadavil's Collection:
1). A pumpkin story: "What is it like to be a Christian saint?" "It is like being a Halloween pumpkin. God picks you from the field, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off you. Then he cuts off the top and scoops out the yucky stuff. He removes the pulp of impurity and injustice and seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light of holiness inside you to shine for the entire world to see." This is the Christian idea behind the carved pumpkins during the Halloween season.
