Inspiration from the lives of ordinary people who lived a life of deep love of Jesus and whose living draws us forward in our faltering steps as we too live as Jesus taught. Treasured memories of those beloved people who have died and who were and remain significant for us then and now. Finally both feastdays draw us to recognise that we too are to face death. The acceptance of our mortality steeped in hope is the gift of Jesus through His Death and Resurrection. Our confidence is that of a child – trusting - and drawing on the goodness and example of the lived experiences of those who have gone before us. The tradition of November – a time to remember and pray for and with those who we lovingly remember - has a strong flavour of the communal approach to death that is the Christian faith. Two hundred years before Jesus lived and preached it was recorded in Maccabees: It is a holy and a wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins. (2 Macc: 46). Our responsibility to each other as Christians extends past the bounds of mortal life. Part of my belief, too, would be that loved ones who have died would also be my supporters as I complete this earthly part of the journey. A prayer I learnt as a child remains a treasured mantra: Jesus, Mary and Joseph – I give you my heart and my soul. Jesus, Mary and Joseph – be with me now and in my last agony. Jesus Mary, and Joseph - may I bring forth my soul in peace with you. Amen This month may we take the time to reflect on our loved departed ones and pray with Jesus, Mary and Joseph for those who are our companions in life.
