If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the highest praise of God is when our lives imitate that of Christ, God-made-Human for our salvation. St. Paul is confident in his own imitation of Christ and urges us to do the same. The saints are models of faith for believers in differing stations of life , and fellow believers who share with us the high calling of God. Excerpts of the All Saints' liturgy and hymns make this  particularly inspiring episode.
