Christ, Holy '
To this day, November 1 - Solemnity of All Saints, we offer the homily of Bishop Antonio Riboldi.
Choir SGL were Men Without Fear
Christian vocation, HOLINESS '
This month, for the Feast of All Saints and All Souls' Day, gives us the necessary reflection on the ultimate purpose of our life from death to life.
St. John the Apostle writes: "Dear friends, See what love the Father has given us, to be called children of God, and we really are. The reason why the world does not know us is because they did not know him dear, as of now we are children of God, but what we will be has not yet been revealed. But we know that when He is revealed we shall be like Him, we shall see him as he is. Anyone who has this hope in him purifies himself as he is pure. "(I Jn. 3,1-2)
And, also John, the Apocalypse says: 'After what appeared a great multitude that no one could count, of every nation, race, tribe and tongue. And they were all standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes and holding palms in their hands and shouted in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne and the Lamb." (Rev. 9, 10)
This vision of a 'great multitude', which passes under our eyes, at first glance may seem exaggerated, if we take lightly, according to our poor point of view, since there seem few people who care about a life lived with the dignity of the multitude. Easy just see humanity largely indifferent to what awaits him after death! entering the cemeteries in these days, you get the feeling, for many, a fleeting visit, be sure he wants to remember Who among us, lived and shared everything with us, and for those who have lived side by side with love, death seems an absurd, incomprehensible separation from those who now no longer ... but, for some and for others, there is the awareness that everything has to be ... for a moment, then ... life goes on! We all know that life is a gift whatsoever, but it is the gift of God par excellence, which definitely has a future in eternity. Experience should be in the consciousness of all walking toward that day when it will end our earthly experience, but will start one with God and the 'multitude' of which John speaks.
If there is a folly in unacceptable tanti è quella di 'vivere' senza pensare a ciò che ci attende. Mentre per il credente la saggezza è vivere preparandosi per trasferirsi alla sua vera Casa, il Cielo: l'esistenza terrena può essere più o meno lunga, ma alla fine si sa di tornare a Casa, dove il Padre ci attende.
È dunque giusto e sapiente, in questa Solennità dei Santi e nella Commemorazione dei nostri defunti, quando, chinandoci sopra le tombe dei nostri cari, contempliamo il severo Mistero della morte, che è di tutti, interrogarci su ciò che ci attende dopo... Non è possibile che tutto di noi finisca li, sotterrato sotto una manciata di terra. Come non è possibile possa finire nel mesto ricordo for a moment, the bond of love that has united us in life who is no longer among us. It makes no sense to build 'here' is a love that has dimensions of eternity, even if there is anyone who thinks that life only as 'diary' to be given to those who remain, not as the prologue of eternal life. 
The search for 'meaning' of life is a long and sometimes bumpy, but also very personal, which calls into question every single man, which should not be left alone on this journey: prayer, friendship They will always sincere support ... Life - I think we all should. 'Warning' in everyday experience - is a serious responsibility. Think of the effort di chi cerca di crescere bene, secondo i disegni di Dio: la fatica quotidiana di una mamma in casa; la fatica di un padre di famiglia, per essere sostegno morale e materiale per i suoi cari; la fatica della 'ricerca' nei giovani e degli educatori che li affiancano; la fatica di un missionario, di un prete, di una suora che si sono consacrati per intero a Dio; la fatica dei malati nell'accettazione della sofferenza. 
È l'esperienza del 'sentirsi' pellegrini sulla terra, in mezzo a tante difficoltà e incognite, puntando diritti là dove Dio vuole si arrivi: la santità, che domani darà il diritto di partecipare alla `moltitudine', descritta da Giovanni, 'avvolti in candide vesti, portando palme nelle mani and crying with a loud voice, 'is what they always believed:' Salvation belongs to our God and the Lamb '.
Maybe some feel a certain unease in front of the word 'holy,' but our brothers in faith are called `holy ', just because they were aware of belonging to the Who's Holiness God's" All the faithful - the Council states - of whatever rank or status are called to the fullness of Christian life and the perfection of charity ... Spouses and Christian parents should follow their own path, with constant love must support one another in grace all his life and instruction in Christian doctrine and evangelical virtues that the offspring have lovingly accepted by God So in fact provide everyone with an example of unfailing and generous love, brotherly building the consortium of holiness "(LG 41).
I think all of us, especially these days, we will find our loved ones who have returned to God will find those who shared their lives with us, we will find many, but lots of friends with whom we have tried to give the true 'sense' to our lives. There are memories that only for a moment riallacciano relationships: our loved ones, our friends are gone ... they have only changed residence! And now, in Heaven - God willing - they continue to 'be present' and we offer a loving advice, which most will not lie: 'Be holy!'. So don
Tonino Bello Maria SS.ma prayed, thinking of death:
"When we reach for the last hour,
and the sun will go out on glimpses of twilight,
put next to us so that we may face death.
And 'experience you did with Jesus,
when the sun was hidden and there was a great darkness on earth.
This experience repeat it with us.
Planted in our cross, sorvegliaci hour of darkness,
stirs in the fatigued sweetness of sleep.
If you give us a hand, we will no longer afraid of her ...
fact the last moment of our lives
we experience it as the entrance to the cathedral of light at the end
of a long pilgrimage, with the lighted torch.
reaching the square, after turning it off, will place the torch.
we will not have the light of faith, that lit the path. Now will be the splendors of the temple of happiness
to widen our eyes. "
And I would like to add a brief reflection on Pope Paul VI died:
" We invite you now to come out with the memory from the world of the living and doing as is customary in this month, a visit to the world of our beloved dead, to all humanity scene pierced by the time that the existence outside of time. Visiting the cemeteries makes us reflect the inexorable transience of this life, and this is a formidable lezione anche se l'effetto pratico può essere ambiguo, stimolando in chi non riflette un'ansia maggiore di vivere la vita presente, ma crescendo invece nei credenti la sapienza per il buon uso di ogni valore, del tempo durante la nostra effimera attuale giornata terrena. É una scuola di alta filosofia questa sosta sui sepolcri umani.
Anche per due altre ragioni: per compiere un dovere di memoria e di riconoscenza verso chi ci ha lasciato un'eredità, quella della vita specialmente, e poi tante altre, dell'amicizia, della cultura, del sacrificio forse. Dimenticare non è umano, non è saggio.
L'altra ragione perché la memoria dei defunti non è soltanto una rimembranza, è una celebrazione della their survival, the immortality of their souls, although much veiled in mystery, is a contact with a community living and moving with those who 'have gone before us with the sign of faith and sleep the sleep of peace'.
In Christ, then we can somehow get them, our dead who are alive in Him. In Christ continues MOVEMENT OF LOVE. Our life 'here, I tell you a mystery' (St. Paul to the Corinthians) resume. Is now in a phase of dissociation that disintegrates the body, and leaves the soul survivor, but this is devoid of the natural instrument to its normal power. One day, though here we are one with Christ, our bodies will rise again, reassembled, perfect and happy.
is not vain to think so: it is true, is pious, it is good. The look of the past turns to the future, toward the dawn of Christ's return. To reflect this and we pray for our dead and remembering what awaits us, pray for us alive. "
