NOVEMBER—THE MONTH OF ALL SOULS

Today or tomorrow, when we stand by the graves, or when our heart must seek distant graves, where perhaps not even a cross stands over them any longer; when we pray, ‘Lord, grant them eternal rest, and may perpetual light shine upon them’; when we quietly look up towards the eternal homeland of all the saints and — from afar and yet so near — greet God’s light and his love, our eternal homeland; then all our memories and all our prayers are only the echo of the words of love that the holy living, in the silence of their eternity, softly and gently speak into our heart. Hidden in the peace of the eternal God, filled with his own bliss, redeemed for all eternity, permeated with love for us that can never cease, they, on their feast, utter the prayer of their love for us: ‘Lord, grant eternal rest to them whom we love — as never before — in your love. Grant it to them who still walk the hard road of pilgrimage, which is none the less the road that leads to us and to your eternal light. We, although silent, are now closer to them than ever before, closer than when we were sojourning and struggling along with them on earth.’ Karl Rahner, The Eternal Year
