All Souls' Day

One thing is certain: we need to understand death in the light of Jesus� resurrection. This is where our strength and serenity come from. He opened the Way that leads through Truth to Life. Jesus Himself reminded us that we have been made for eternity. A thousand years are as a day gone by for God. A lifetime is extremely brief, fleeting. It has no sense if it is not directed toward an experience that is truer. As Jesus Himself reminded us: �everyone who sees the Son and believes in him has eternal life�.
