The divine grace that is revealed in the Church’s commemoration
of Halloween should be our participation in what is called the Communion of
Saints.
This Communion of Saints means that this world is not all that
there is and that those who have passed through the experience of death
continue to love us, care for us and even through God’s permissive will, can
interact with us. It also means that that the Christian can hope that
God’s power in Christ to save and redeem extends beyond this world to the next
and as such we can hope that few of us will be lost causes.
The festivities of Halloween should affirm that these beliefs
about the Communion of Saints are real and are also the deepest reality of what
this world has become because of the revelation of God in Christ.
