All Souls and the Communion of Saints
The practice of setting aside a memorial day for the dead did not begin with
Christianity; such a commemoration
was prevalent in pagan antiquity. But
as early as the second century Christians commemorated the anniversary
of the dead, especially the day of the
death of the martyrs.
The tone of today’s celebration is a paschal one, because Christ’s paschal mystery
gives meaning to the death of the faithful
Christian. Belief in the resurrection of Jesus,
and belief in our own resurrection should convince us to take life seriously. Death is not
something that we as Christians face with fear;
it is not a threat to our existence. If we understand it as the necessary prelude to resurrection, then it will help us to determine how to
live. We will then look upon our time in the
mortal life as a series of opportunities for believing, hoping, loving and growing. All moments are unique and will not be repeated.
Our destiny, has been designed by the same
Father who raised up Jesus from the death. He
wants us to join his Son in glory where we will
live with more intensity than ever before, and
forever. Like yesterday’s feast of All Saints, it is
a feast of God’s triumph. It is a celebration of
the victory of Jesus over death, and a promise
that one day we will enjoy God’s vision.
Perhaps today we will be more conscious of the
communion of saints as we pray for our departed loved ones. Today’s feast gives an added
dimension to our prayers for them; when we
pray for them we experience this communion
of help and of companionship. We can be
aware, too, that we are also making our way to
fullness of life and happiness in Jesus. That life
is the gift that he has won for us.
On this day may the God of all consolation
“bless us with faith in the resurrection of his
Son, and with the hope of rising to new life. To
us who are alive may he grant forgiveness, and
to all who have died a place of light and peace”
Blessings,
Fr. Diego
La costumbre de tener un día para
recordar a los difuntos tiene sus
orígenes en fiestas paganas de la
antigüedad, sin embargo los
primeros cristianos empezaron a
conmemorar los aniversarios de
los muertos especialmente el día de
los mártires. Que a propósito es
como se inició también la
costumbre de tener día de cada santo.
Eternal rest grant
unto them, O
Lord, and let perpetual light shine
upon them
(Es. 2:34-35)
El tono de esta celebración es pascual ya que el
misterio pascual de Cristo es lo que da
relevancia a la muerte de los fieles cristianos.
Creer en la resurrección de Jesús y creer en
nuestra propia resurrección deberían
convencernos suficientemente para tomar la
vida con seriedad. La muerte no tiene por qué
aterrorizar a un cristiano, no es de ninguna
manera una amenaza para nuestra existencia.
Si entendemos que es solo el paso para la
resurrección entonces así nos ayuda a
determinar cómo vivir mejor.
Nuestro destino ha sido diseñado por el mismo
Padre que resucito a Jesús. Dios quiere que
sigamos a su Hijo en la gloria donde viviremos
incluso con mayor intensidad para siempre.
Así como celebramos ayer el día de todos los
Santos, esta conmemoración de los difuntos es
una fiesta del triunfo de Dios sobre la muerte y
la promesa que algún día disfrutaremos de la
visión de Dios.
Al orar por nuestros fieles difuntos tenemos la
oportunidad de ser conscientes de la comunión
de los santos. Esta fiesta aporta una dimensión
adicional a nuestras oraciones por ellos; al
orar por ellos experimentamos esta comunión
de ayuda mutua en nuestro caminar. Que en
este día el Dios de toda consolación nos
bendiga con fe en la resurrección de su Hijo, y
con la esperanza de resucitar a una nueva
vida. A nosotros que aun vivimos que Dios nos
conceda el perdón y a todos aquellos que han
muerto un lugar de reposo, luz y paz.
