All Souls Day – A Feast of Hope

I love the second reading for this wonderful feast from Romans 5:5-11:

Sisters and brothers, Hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

May our hope be enkindled by all the souls – saints and sinners (which all of us are at some time or another) – to pass this hope on to others.
