All Saints Sunday is a tradition observed annually in the Church. It is on this first Sunday of November that we celebrate the lives of persons in our lives who have died this year and are now with Christ in eternity. An important part of understanding for us regarding our identity as God’s beloved people includes learning about our place within “the communion of saints”. We, the Church, believe there is a spiritual connection that unites those who have gone before us, ourselves, and those who will come after us. How mysterious and amazing our God is, that he bonds us together in his love in such a community. Today, we pause to honor and reflect on those saints among us whose lives have pointed us to Jesus. As the Apostle Paul writes in-depth about the resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15, may we be reminded that we belong to Christ and in him we share in the resurrection of glory that is to come.
