All Souls Day - November 2, 2025
Over thousands of years God's word has given comfort and hope to those who mourn. May our faith in a loving and merciful God, whom we hear portrayed in today's readings, dispel our doubts and calm, our fears of death. May our faith in the Resurrection and in the redemption Jesus won for us assure us of the promise of eternal life in the kingdom. May the faith we share and the act of sharing it with each other console us in our grief.
