HOMILY FOR ALL SOULS’ DAY — YEAR B

HOMILY THEME: PRAYING FOR THE DEAD… “EVERY ONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL BE RAISED UP AT THE LAST DAY”

Wis. 3:1-9; Ps. 23:1-6; Rom. 5:5-11; Matt. 5 : 1-12a

Is your hope in this present life only? What about the life to come after our physical death? God puts in the heart of every living person the desire for unending life and happiness. While physical death claims each of us at the appointed time, God gives us something which death cannot touch – his own divine life and sustaining power. God does not abandon us to the realm of the dead.

One of the greatest examples of faith and hope in the promise of everlasting life with God is the testimony of Job in the Old Testament. God allowed Job to be tested through great trial, suffering, and the loss of everything he had. In the midst of his sufferings Job did not waver in trusting God. In chapter 19 of the Book of Job, he exclaims:

“For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that at the last he will stand upon the earth; and after my skin has been thus destroyed, then in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see on my side, and my eyes shall behold, and not another” (Job 19:25-27)
