The Souls of the Just: Solemnity of All Souls, Novemer 2, 2024

The beautiful verse from the late Hebrew scriptures, the Book of Wisdom, "The souls of the just are in the hands of God and there no torment shall touch them", leads us to reflect on the mystery of life, the life God has gifted to us, and its fulfillment in the life of God. As we remember our beloved dead this day, we entrust their souls into God's merciful and gracious hands. 

Homily shared with the Saint Francis Catholic Community in Cuenca, Ecuador.
