The Commemoration of All Souls

“We know our union with the brethren who have died in the grace and faith of Christ is not the least weakened or interrupted by their death. On the contrary it is strengthened by our conveying spiritual goods for their benefit.”

                                                                        -Second Vatican Council

Lumen Gentium, 49

Today’s Reflection:

Quietly, I will call to mind all of my loved ones who have passed away. What “spiritual goods” can I convey to them for their benefit? What am I willing to do today? What am I willing to commit to do for this month? What am I willing to commit to do for this year?
