The final day of judgement - the end of the octave of All Saints

Dear Fathers, Brothers, Sisters in Christ,

One of the moving time in the Church year, i.e. All Saints and All Souls has passed. We rejoiced in the Saints and their lives and we know that in Heaven they are praying for us and we remembered our departed brothers and sisters in Christ. There are those, who are still in-between , i.e. in purgatory and it is important to pray , because we all long for eternal rest with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Let us constantly be aware that Judgement day , the Judgement of all nations can be upon us any time, when we at least expect it.
All will be judged  and we do want to be sure that we are not going to be despatched to eternal separation from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Saint Matthew chapter 25, the verses 31-46 is worthwhile studying at the end of this octave.

A blessed Sunday

Father Ed Bakker
