Gospel Reading for November 2, 2024 – John 6: 37-40
MASTERPIECE
The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed
Jesus said to the crowds: “Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to me, because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me. And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it on the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him on the last day.”

God will always want the best for us. We are his because he is our Creator. A creator, like a painter will always give his/her very best in his/her painting and if ever the painting is damaged willfully or by accident, art restoration which can be possible in many ways, will always be the option. The option will never be to damage the artwork.
We are God’s MASTERPIECE and we mean a lot to him. We are a product of his great love. No wonder, he sent his only begotten Son to restore us humans after the devil damaged us.
Today, we remember all our faithful departed and pray for their restoration so they may enjoy eternal life with God, as Jesus promised all who followed/follow him.
Eternal Rest grant unto the poor souls, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
