Priest on Duty: Fr. Kevin Hanley : EMERGE NCYNo.: 086 3339063
Fr. Robert writes… NOVEMBER The Value of Remembering our Dead November is the time of year when we remember our dead - visiting the graveyard where our loved ones are buried or the place where their ashes are scattered, writing their names on the altar list of the dead, praying for them at the Novena of Masses and reflecting on the story of the ir lives.
We call this the ‘Communion of Saints’ - the ninth art icle of faith in the Apostles’ Creed.
A spiritual union exists among the saints in Heaven, the holy souls in Purgatory and the people of God living on Earth.
The Second Vatican Council describ ed our loved ones who have died as ‘our outstanding benefactors’ . They can pray for us and inspire us.
On
Sunday 1st November we celebrate ‘All Saints’ Day’. It is the feast of all the holy women and men of every time and place, praising God in Heaven. On
Monday 2nd November we celebrate ‘All Souls’ Day’. We remember all the fai thful departed.
Remembering our dead these days reminds me that we usually only see death from one side, pain, loss, t ears, grief, a difficult and sad time.
Yet there is another side w hich tells us that death is a friend that takes us to the ‘Father’s house’ where all ‘tears are wiped away’. The darkness of death is no more.
Remembering our dead and reflecting on the story of their lives can help us look at our values and what really matters at the end.

The Solemnity of All Saints invites us to lift our eyes beyond the struggles of daily life and remember the countless men and women who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith.
In the vision of the Book of Revelation, John beholds a vast multitude from every nation, race and language standing before the throne of God.
They are ordinary people who remained faithful through trials and now share in the fullness of God's glory.
In the Gospel, Jesus presents the Beatitudes, a portrait of true holiness.
The saints are not remembered because they were powerful, wealthy or successful by worldly standards.
Rather, they were poor in spirit, merciful, peacemakers, and people who hungered for righteousness.
They allowed God's grace to shape their lives.
This feast reminds us that holiness is not reserved for a select few.
It is the calling of every Christian. As we honour the saints, we are encouraged to follow their example, trusting that God continues to lead us along the path that ends in the joy of heaven.
