Tuesday October 31st - Eve of All Saints … what it’s really about
Morning: Psalm 45; Ezra 5:1-17; Revelation 4:1-11; Matthew 13:1-19
Evening: Psalm 34; Wisdom 3:1-9; Revelation 19:1, 4-10
Hallowe’en.
The promise of chocolate, or a scare, only faintly echoes the mystery
of this ancient Christian festival. Chocolate just may be, for me, a
mysterious foretaste of what we all hope for – the best chocolate is,
after all, truly awe-some! – but Hallowe’en lost something along the
way. Do you long for everything to make sense, for a fulfilling life,
for a society that serves the ideals of justice and fairness that are
planted deep in every human soul? Do you anticipate something much more
wonderful than chocolate … that all will be well? That’s the original
promise of Hallowe’en.
