Commemoration
of All the Faithful Departed
2nd Nov 2010
Yesterday,
we celebrated the feast of all saints. Some of them are extraordinary and
famous and others are ordinary including our loved ones who lived their
Christian life according to the ideals which Christ set before us in the
beatitudes and have entered the glory of heaven.
Today, the Church commemorates
all the faithful departed focussing
mainly on the souls in purgatory still awaiting the fullness of life they will
enjoy in heaven when purified of all their sins. They suffer in purgatory as
they cannot see the vision of God. We can help them by our prayers, offering
sacrifice of the Mass and almsgiving so that thus purified from their sins they
may attain the beatific vision of God.
Today, we rejoice in our own
salvation which has been achieved by Jesus’ passion and death. The Lord has
risen from dead and thus he conquered sin and death. Now we have the
opportunity to share with the risen
life of Christ and look forward to life after death with him in heaven. This is
our Christian hope.
