The Lord is always with us; bring all our cares to the Lord!
Happy Feast of All Souls!
It is a wonderful time of the year! And it is wonderful to remember and pray for all those who meant so much to us, and, out of Christian Charity, to pray for others that no one remembers except for us.
Our Gospel Portion is very helpful in understanding why we know that our prayers are important. Our Portion is St. John 6:37-40, and we will meditate on
“And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I should lose nothing of all that He has given Me, but raise it up at the last day.”
John 6:39
We belong to God, regardless of whether we are living on Earth or have passed away. We know that death is not the end, but rather a passage to be with God forever. Jesus promised us that He will not lose us, and we hold onto His promises.
We pray for our departed loved ones as we pray for our loved ones that are with us on this side of eternity.
Prayer is our connection! My mother transitioned over 40 years ago, but she is still with me in prayer.
Let us use this month, as we busy ourselves with all the wonderful activities of the Holiday Season, to remember that our departed loved ones are with us! They are not lost; they are with the Lord!
Have a blessed November!
