The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed
I will not reject anyone who comes to me." Today, as we remember the faithful departed, we can rejoice
in these words from Jesus. He promises that he will welcome those who come to him. He is so anxious
to embrace us! As the catechism puts it, "All who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly
purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation" (CCC §1030).
Jesus' whole message here is important. Eternal salvation is available to all, but it does involve a level
of participation on our part. "Everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life," Jesus says in today's Gospel. When it's authentic, of course, this belief is more than mere lip service. Understanding that Jesus is our savior and our God is one thing. Coming to him is another; it takes belief
to the next level of personal commitment. This involves choices, decisions, and actions. Coming to Jesus
means being near him-through a spiritual life that involves a real relationship with him-as well as being focused on him by charting our life's course in the light of faith. This is what we strive to do during
the ups and downs of this life. But it isn't always easy. Even as faithful Christians we often fall short
of perfect cooperation with God. But this is not cause for despair! Today we remember that even Christians who die still "imperfectly purified" can ultimately share the blessing of heaven. We pray for these
souls in purgatory to come closer and closer to perfect union with the Lord. And meanwhile, we strive
to increase our own union with Christ in the hopes of sharing eternity with him and with the whole
communion of saints, including our loved ones who have gone before us in faith.
