Feast of All Souls

We Pray For Them All

We have a wonderful tradition in Christianity of praying for the souls of
all the dead. Notice that we pray for all the dead: strengthen our hope that
all our departed brothers and sisters will share in his resurrection.

We don’t separate the rich from the poor, or the black from the white, or
the male from the female; we don’t leave out those who were criminals or
had AIDS or were illiterate; we don’t give special prayer privilege to the
powerful or the intellectual or the ecclesiastical.

This is All Souls Day. We pray for them all. We wish them all eternal life.

hat will it take for us to create a world in which we treat the living with
as much respect and equality as we treat the dead? Why can’t we find a
way to be as tolerant of souls living in bodies as we are of disembodied
souls?
Gerald Darring

“God, who has fatherly concern for every-

one, has willed that all men should consti-
tute one family and treat one another in a
spirit of brotherhood. For having been cre-
ated in the image of God, who ‘from one
man has created the whole human race and
made them live all over the face of the
earth’ (Acts 17:26), all men are called to one
and the same goal, namely, God Himself.”

Modern World (1965) 24

Both pagans and Christians have kept memorials
of dead relatives and friends. In the early church
the custom was to celebrate a remembrance of
the deceased person three days following the
burial and on the one-year anniversary of the
person’s death. The Commemoration of All the
Faithful Departed highlights the paschal nature
of Christian death. By being plunged into the
waters of baptism we die with Christ—we be-
lieve we will also rise with Christ. Alleluia!
