This time of the year, especially because of Allhallowtide, the Church spotlights life beyond life. The centerpiece of this triduum is for the souls Heavenly departed that we call Saints on All Saints Day. This feast day is a holy day of obligation, so make time tomorrow for Mass. It’s not a drudgery, but a time to remember what we’re shooting for by steeping in it.

We don’t think too much about Purgatory these days, but this time of year invites us to remember that there are souls going through it right now. Scripture tells us, “Nothing unclean shall enter heaven” (Revelation 21:27). If we die still clinging to the gunk of this world, it must be cleansed before we can enter the presence of God.
