The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed
(All Souls’ Day) November 2, 2014
If we have died with Christ,
we believe we shall also live with him. — Romans 6:8
Today the Church remembers all who have walked the way of Christ and passed from this
life. The readings all look to the last day, when we shall all rise from the dead and be
reunited. The prophet Daniel announces words of warning and welfare. He cautions us
against the judgment to come, but he also comforts us and assures us that all who live a life
of virtue and justice will find life eternal. The reading from Romans reminds us that, because
of Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection and our entrance into that paschal mystery
through baptism, we now share in the new life won by Christ. This recognition has repercussions: we need to live
righteously now, that we might rise to life forever with Christ on the last day. In the Gospel Jesus pledges that all the
Father has given him will not be lost. All the faithful will be raised to joy and live forever in the presence of God. For
those of Mexican heritage, November 2 means celebration of el Dia de Los Muertos, or “the Day of the Dead.” One of
the most important days of the year for many, they join All Saints and All Souls together, visiting the graves of babies and
children on All Saints, since they are santitos (little saints) or angelitos (little angels). Flowers, their favorite toys, favorite
music, and so on, are taken to them. The following day, people spend time—some of them all day—at the cemetery with
their loved ones who have died. From the ancient customs of the Indians the families pray, talk with them, and take them
their favorite food. It is a most solemn but joyful day. It is a day to celebrate Christ’s victory over death: “Death, where is
your sting?” There is a mocking of death as people make skeletons, candy that represents death, and Pan de los
Muertos (bread of the dead) and consume them in a kind of role reversal. One of the customs is to build an altarcito
(little altar) where one places mementos and pictures of those who have died. There are also favorite foods, candles,
statues or pictures of favorite saints, books, and Bibles. Some parishes have begun to build an altarcito where all
parishioners can join in honoring the deceased. A remembrance book can be placed to write names in. The altarcito is
traditionally left up for the month of November.

Once a year, Bishop Ochoa asks all the parish families in
our diocese for their help in supporting the ministries and
services that touch all of us. He asks you to give in the
spirit of stewardship, with grateful hearts for the many
gifts you have received from God. This is an invitation
for our parish family to join the 89 other parishes of the
diocese in catechetics, youth, and family life ministries all
of which ultimately benefit all parishes. The “Together in
Faith” theme emphasizes the importance of all our
individual families to work together in the support and
spiritual enrichment of our greater diocesan family.
Please pick up your copy of the Newsletter for Together
in Faith 2014-2015 which explains how to text-to-give for
our parish and also provides insight into the importance
