Immediate Word

After the election, U.S. political leaders will have to deal with enormous problems, some of the worst of them caused by our own leaders. We are right to be apprehensive and to pray for the decrease of violence in the world and for the just distribution of national wealth. But November 7 is All Saints' Sunday, a time to remember those who have preceded us in the faith, to give thanks for the good that has been done by preceding generations, and to reflect on the final passage that awaits us all.
