Feast of All Saints and Dia de los Muertos
October 31st-November 1st
My dear spiritual family,
On this joyful All Hallows’ Eve and as we approach the days of All Saints and All Souls, including the beloved Día de los Muertos, let us come together in spirit to celebrate the unity of life, death, and the eternal love of God.
This time invites us to honor the lives of those who have come before us, to embrace the mystery of life beyond life, and to remember that in Christ, death is not an end but a transformation.
All Hallows’ Eve reminds us that our lives are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses—saints, loved ones, and ancestors—who continue to inspire, guide, and intercede for us. It is a beautiful reminder that the boundaries between life and eternity are thin, and that those we love remain close in ways both seen and unseen.
As we celebrate Día de los Muertos, we follow in the footsteps of generations who lovingly remember the departed with music, color, and offerings that celebrate the joy and beauty of their lives.
May these traditions remind us to cherish our own loved ones, to keep their memories alive with gratitude and tenderness, and to be inspired by their resilience, wisdom, and faith.
In these days of remembrance, let us also turn our hearts to God, who holds each of us in divine love that transcends time. May our prayers for those who have gone before us bring us comfort and peace, uniting us in the communion of saints that knows no bounds.
May this season fill you with hope, joy, and peace, as we celebrate the sacredness of life in all its forms and remember that love, in God, is truly everlasting. Blessings to you and your families, now and always.
Seeing Christ in All Things,
