Word for Saturday November 2. Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls).

“Jesus said to the crowds: Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to me…For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.” John6:37-40. Fulton Sheen said, As we enter Heaven, we will see them, so many of them, coming towards us and thanking us. We will ask who they are, and they will say, ‘a poor soul you prayed for in Purgatory.

Let us pray, Lord Jesus, we praise You and we thank You for gaining eternal life for us and our loved ones who have gone before us. We and they were created for eternity, created to live in You forever. We thank You now for the day when all will be united in You, face to face, in joy forever. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
