Today we commemorate the Feast of All Souls, a sacred time to remember the faithful departed and reflect on the profound mystery of death, judgment, and eternal life. In this homily, we explore why death is not natural, the meaning behind black vestments, and the deep significance of the Dies Irae (Day of Wrath) hymn — one of the most moving and mystical pieces in Catholic tradition.

Father reminds us that God is not the author of death, but of life — and that through Christ’s Passion, death itself has been transformed into a doorway toward eternity.
🙏 Join us in prayer for the souls in Purgatory and renew your hope in the mercy and justice of God.
