Rev. John Campoli, i.v.dei
His Love Ministries
Remember that our heavenly Father has our best interests at the forefront of His plan for our lives. Jesus always walks with us, especially in our sufferings. Cling to Him with everything you’ve got and give Him all your pain, suffering, and disillusions. He can turn them into joy, and glory and, finally, will turn our death into life.

Daily Meditation
With All Saints/All Souls Day,, we're called to realize that we'll all face the time of our death. We'll leave behind the things we can't take with us; hopefully, our legacy will perpetuate kingdom life in others.
Walk around a cemetery. Names, dates, and favorite quotes are all that we have left to tell us something about those who live there, who wait there, who rest there. But if we were to find a loved one, or a friend, they'll be able to tell us more. They would give us a fuller picture of the one who now rests. Life has been lived; little can be changed once we are gone, but the stories told, the lessons taught, the priorities modeled can indeed make a lasting impact on generations.
None of those who now rest were perfect. They all had their trials and their moments of uncertainty, fear, and doubt. Some of them were not great fathers or mothers, were not good at organization; others were people that we could easily forget. Yet all were called to be human, and I would say most tried their best to make a difference, large or small, in the world as they knew it.
On these days we remember all who live with God, especially those who now await the resurrection. It would be easy to dismiss their humanness, forget their brokenness, and celebrate their saintliness! In doing so, we would miss the real challenges of living out God's reign in the world—the real challenges of making a difference despite our brokenness.
In celebrating, let us not forget Halloween—the feast of all of us who stand in this world on the eve of saintliness. We are called to be as HOLY as God is Holy. (He Only Loves You) As we strive for holiness, we are called to be agents of justice, agents of healing and wholeness for the world, a call to lean on God's Spirit in the living of our lives.
At this time, reflect on what it means to be human. God's own breath is in all of humanity; God's own mark is on every person. Saintliness today means acknowledging the humanity of others through careful listening, walking alongside, and refusing to judge or reject the powers that lie, divide, and label.
