All Saints Day reminds us that death doesn't have the final word in our story. When Jesus told his troubled disciples not to be afraid, he wasn't asking them to ignore their pain but to trust in something greater than their circumstances. His promise of many rooms in his Father's house speaks to our deep need for belonging and permanence. Even in our darkest moments of grief, we are never truly alone because Jesus lives, and because he lives, we will live too. This sacred day calls us to remember the saints who have gone before us while recognizing our own calling to be faithful witnesses of God's love to others.
