All Souls' Day

Actually, atong gidungan o giusa ang pagsaulog ang All Saints' Day ug All Souls' Day, nga dugay na natong gi-practice. Kining atong pagduaw sa mga minteryo sa Nov. 1, is All Saints' Day,

Ania ang google: “The holiday of All Saints' Day falls on 1 November and is followed by All   Souls' Day on 2 November. It is a Solemnity in the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church.

Whatever, sa nagkalain-laing sekto sa Tinuhoan, and how they perceive and discern it, gi-observe gyud nila ang mga adlaw sa mga Santos ug sa mga patay.

What does the Bible say about All Souls' Day? “Yes, it is Biblical. God desires that all souls become reconciled to him. This feast day is a day of prayer and worship (as are all feast days) that all departed souls in the previous year might be reconciled to Heaven as the Lord God rightly judges.”

Mituo kita nga ang nangamatay with less serious sins, kining gitawag nga mga venial sins, muagi una sila sa purgatoryo, diin i-purge, ug i-purify sila gikan sa kahugawan sa sala.  

What are the examples of venial sins? “Gossiping, lying, pride, neglecting to pray or read scriptures regularly, and drinking to excess,” ug lagmit kining pag-marites, apan, ayaw lang pud palab-ani,   ang imong gi-marites kay tingalig masakit sa kasing-kasing.

By the way, angay natong masayran nga ang na-purified na, maka-intercede sila, on our behalf, ug makaampo alang kanatong mga buhi. Duna koy amigo nga nag-devotion sa mga kalag sa purgatoryo, nga kon ma-Langit na, maoy iyang sangpiton, labi na, in time of distress.

Unsaon niya pagkahibawo nga na-langit na? Positive thinking, pare. Siyaro, sa pila na ka siglohan nga katuigan natong umampo alang sa mga kalag sa purgatoryo, wa gyuy bisag usa kanila ang na-langit?

Mao nga alang kaniya, dili gayud ma-sayang ang iyang mga pagsangpit sa mga kalag sa purgatoryo.

What is the importance as Catholics in celebrating All Saints Day and All Souls' Day? “The Christian celebration of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day stems from a belief that there is a powerful spiritual bond between those in heaven (the "Church triumphant"), the living (the "Church militant"), and the "Church penitent" which includes the faithful departed.

So, kitang mga buhi pa, adunay spiritual nga panagdugtong tali sa na-Langit na, ug sa nag-penetensiya pa. We are eternally connected whether living or departed.

All Souls' Day deepens our awareness of this connection as we remember and pray for the souls who have crossed over to the next life.” So, dili nato “sila” ma-ignore ug ma-taken for granted. 

When was All Souls' Day first celebrated? “All Souls' Day was first instituted at the monastery in Cluny in 993 CE and quickly spread throughout the Christian world. People held festivals for the dead long before Christianity.” Sa ato pa, long before Christ.

“All Souls' Day has been observed since the 11th century nga gi-established ni Abbot Odilo, usa ka Benedictine Abbot sa Cluny sulod sa 54 ka tuig hangtud sa iyang pagkamatay sa tuig 1048 AD.”
