If your church is marking all saints or all souls dayВ do feel free to print the words or use the recording. The greatest and only offering, to redeem both the living and the dead, has been made by Christ and if we want to celebrate our loving connections we need only now make gifts to the living, as we do in offering sweets to the вЂtrick or treatersвЂ™ in this season, and far more profoundly in exchanging gifts at Christmas.ДЄnyway, given that both these seasons of hospitality and exchange have been so wrenched from their first purpose in order to sell tinsel and sweeties, I thought I might redress the balance a little and reclaim this season with a sonnet for All Souls/All Saints that remembers the light that shines in darkness, who first kindled it, and how we can all reflect it. But it was right that, though they kept the day, they changed the custom. It is also good and right that the Church settled this feast on a time in the turning of the year when the pre-Christian Celtic religions were accustomed to think of and make offerings for the dead. It is good that we should have a season of the year for remembrance and a time when we feel that the veil between time and eternity is thin and we can sense that greater and wider communion of saints to which we belong. the day we remember all the souls who have gone before us into the light of Heaven. The dark is bright with quiet lives and steady lights undimmedДЄs we come towards HalloweвЂ™en, its worth remembering that the word HalloweвЂ™en itself simply means вЂthe eve of all HallowsвЂ™, and All Hallows is the Christian feast of All Saints, or All Saints DayвЂ™, a day when we think particularly of those souls in bliss who, even in this life, kindled a light for us, or to speak more exactly, reflected for us and to us, the already-kindled light of Christ!, It is followed immediately on November 2nd by All Souls Day.
