November 2ndThe early Christians, like their pagan ancestors, remembered their dead on certain day of the year. The present date for our yearly commemoration of the dead was established in the tenth century. We remember the dead prayerfully so that God will " strengthen our hope that all our departed brothers and sisters will share in Christ's resurrection." In the words of Vatican Council II, "Fully conscious of the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, the Church on earth honors with great respect the memory of the dead, and because it is holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be freed from their sins (2 Mac. 12, 46), she offers her suffrages for them."
Lord God, Maker of all, Master of life and death, guard and gift of our souls, receive those who go before us on the pilgrimage of death; in due time receive us too when our days are done."
All Souls
November 1stThe feast which has its beginnings in the Christian churches of the fifth and sixth centuries celebrates all those saints, canonized or not, who enjoy the happiness of the kingdom of heaven. Our relatives and friends, multitudes unknown, stand before God's throne in joyful praise. They are remembered this day. God's amazing grace has brought them home. The feast of All Saints turns our eyes to that "great cloud of witnesses" who are with God, yet still with us. We share in their love and are inspired by their example. They attract us to journey to the Kingdom of God.
For all the saints who from their labors rest, who thee by faith before the world confessed, thy name O Jesus, be forever blest ! Alleluia , alleluia !
