This Sunday we will experience again one of the high Sundays of the year, All Saints Day. A day set aside for the commemoration of all the faithful who have died in the Lord—in particular those in our own church community who, within the last year, died in hope of eternal life in Christ—All Saints Day is a Christian pedagogy, that is, it teaches us why we exist and for whom we exist. For all the saints who from their labors rest, let us this Sunday give thanks.
