November Time Its always a reminder to us when we change the clock and the day shortens and the weather develops a chill that winter is here. Its not always welcomed by everyone even though we know there is little if anything we can do about it. As the trees shed their leaves and the light in the day changes, nature is telling us something about the journey of life as we see it in the world around us. We can even long for the summer to stay with us but that’s not what happens is it? Even the natural cycle tells us of the cycle of life—death to new life and over again.

It’s only natural then that we remember our departed loved ones in a special way at this time of year. And even though we know that we cannot last forever that doesn’t mean that we can’t miss loved ones and mourn for them. Its perfectly natural. As people sharing the Christian faith we share a belief that there if resurrection after death. It’s sometimes only after we loose someone close that this part of our faith takes on a new meaning for us and can be a source of consolation. We remember our loved ones, family, friends and members of our parish community during this month and we ask the Lord to help us to be open to the consolation and love he shares with us through and in those he surrounds us with.
