Why Do Fools...?

Why do we mourn our dead, when we know they are in peace and light for eternity with the Lord? The book of Wisdom says, “They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead” (Wisdom 3:2) - so why do we continue fool-ishly to mourn our dead? Because we’re human, that’s why. Because we’re made in the image of the God who mourns loss, and who, in Christ, has given us the ulti-mate witness that death and loss do not have the last “word” in all of this, but that life and resurrection do. This is something that Martha, even in the midst of her mourn-ing at her brother’s tomb, could say in confidence to Je-sus when he came to share her grief and give her com-fort. Today we join her in this confident expression of faith in the ultimate conquest of life over death, a victory willed by God and made present in Christ.

Are You A Fool?

In his letter to the Romans, Paul asks if they are unaware that baptism into Christ’s death also means baptism into resurrection. Harsh as that opening might be, Paul doesn’t tell the Romans to stop mourning their dead, he doesn’t say that their grief and tears are signs that their faith is weak or non-existent. Paul knows that he is deal-ing with a profound topic for the lives in his community. So he writes a profound litany of the comfort, glory, and triumph over the grave won by God in Christ. He reminds them of their own intimate connection to this triumph, the way Christ joined their humanity in his death, and the way they were grafted onto his eternal life through their baptism. As we celebrate our Commemoration of the Faithful Departed, it is natural for us to remember, per-haps to mourn or weep a bit; but it is also natural and wise for us to rejoice and celebrate in the life that our faithful departed now share.

Around

the Parish... All Saints and All Souls

This weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints (remembering all the saints, known and unknown to us, who enjoy the glory of heaven) and today we celebrate the Commemoration of all the Faithful Departed. Prayer for the dead reaches deep into our human history, and it has been our custom from the earliest days of the Church. The belief that our prayers can be of assistance to the dead is a treasured tenet of our Catholic faith. We profess it every time we recite the Nicene Creed: “I look forward to the resurrection of the dead/and the life of the world to come.” Father Ron Rolheiser, OMI, offers this beautiful reflection on transitioning from this world to the next: “In understanding death, it is useful to look at birth. When a child is born, she or he is born into the arms and care of a mother. Save for the tremendous care, gentleness and attention of a mother, a child is radi-cally unready to lie in this world. Given a mother, though, everything changes. There is some trauma in being born, but it is brief. Very quickly, the gentleness, pa-tience, and tenderness of a mother erase the trauma of birth. In the case of a loving mother, the passage from birth to adulthood is not ungentle and traumatic, but a delightful adventure in awakening. God is our real mother—more tender, more loving, and more understanding than any earthy mother. Our birth into eternal life through the birth canal of death must be seen just as our birth into this life. Just as here, in infan-cy, our mother was ever so tender and patient with us; in death, even more so, is God. The hands that receive us at death are not the rough hands of our world. The heart that embraces us there will not let anything be too much for us. We will, children that we are, be gently, under-standingly, and tenderly guided and coaxed into eternal life. Being born into God’s arms surely will be as gentle and tender an experience as was the experience of being born into our mother’s arms.”

The Feasts of All Saints and All Souls begin the tradition-al month of thanksgiving. November offers many opportu-nities to focus on gratitude for all we have been given. The readings of November 1st help us recognize that God invites all of us (Rev 7:9) to come and dwell in glory; a gift we do not earn nor deserve, yet is freely given by the God of abundance.

Our belief in the communion of saints highlights the in-credible grace found in relationships. We share in this communion to the extent that we can join with the saints in their message of peace and justice according to the Gospel. This communion of saints extends to the family and friends we love the most in this life. November is a time to remind and encourage all hearers of this truth. Good stewards appreciate the gift of community—here and beyond—and nurture it by taking concrete actions to demonstrate their love and affection to those who love and care for them.
