Sunday Meditation: Who Are These Wearing White Robes?

 

For the Solemnity of All Saints, from the Book of Revelation, Rev 7:13-14:

 

Then one of the elders spoke up and said to me,
“Who are these wearing white robes, and where did they come from?”
I said to him, “My lord, you are the one who knows.”
He said to me,
“These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress;
they have washed their robes
and made them white in the Blood of the Lamb.”
