ALL SAINTS-ALL SOULS DAY
In Western Christian theology, All Saints Day commemorates
all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven. It is a
national holiday in many historically Catholic countries. In the
Roman Catholic Church, the next day, All Souls' Day,
specifically commemorates the departed faithful who have not
yet been purified and reached heaven. Catholics celebrate All
Saints' Day and All Souls' Day in the fundamental belief that
there is a prayerful spiritual communion between those in the
state of grace who have died and are either being purified in
purgatory or are in heaven (the 'church penitent' and the
'church triumphant', respectively), and the 'church militant'
who are the living. Other Christian traditions define, remember
and respond to the saints in different ways. www.catholiconline,net
The day before “All Saints Day’ is called “All Hallows Eve”.
This holiday, properly understood and celebrated with all of its
fun can be a way for us to deepen our understanding of our
faith. Today’s Christians sometimes forget that by the time of
Christ many Jews had a well-developed belief in the
resurrection of the dead, which included trust that the prayer of
the living could benefit the dead. It was with this
understanding that, 160 years before Jesus was born, Judah the
Maccabee prayed and offered sacrifice for dead comrades who
had sinned: “For if he were not expecting the fallen to rise
again, it would have been useless and foolish to pray for them
in death” (2 Maccabees 12:44). In effect, Halloween became
one vigil for two feasts celebrated by the whole church.
Many kids are more likely to put on ghoulish makeup to get
ready to trick or treat. Skeletons and jack-o-lanterns and
shocking costumes are very much a part of All Hallows Eve.
Death is not cute. Halloween began with martyrs, after all, so
strange makeup and skull masks are not out of line. Picture, if
you will, an All Saints procession led by St. Thomas More
with his head tucked under his arm or St. Lawrence, still
attached to the skewer that killed him.
Our tradition teems with stories of people who endured terrible
things-but never let it interfere with an underlying joy and trust
in God. (Of course, even the saints who weren’t martyred
deserve our recognition and imitation!) www.americancatholic.og
