On All Souls Day falling on a Sunday, the homily reflects on funeral readings that offer a confident hope in salvation: "the souls of the just are in the hand of God." It explains that justification comes through Christ's blood—beginning in baptism and fulfilled in the Eucharist—uniting believers to Christ and promising resurrection on the last day. The message emphasizes that by seeing, believing, and receiving the body and blood of Christ at Mass, the faithful share in the life of the Trinity and can rejoice in the assurance of salvation.
