Today is observed by many churches as All Saints Day (actual date Nov. 1). We sing “For all the saints who from their labors rest” to celebrate that most satisfying heavenly rest promised us by the Lord Jesus, which is enjoyed already by our loved ones who have died in the faith. While we may shed tears of sorrow as we continue to mourn our losses, yet in Christ, even our grieving is transformed by hope we have through his resurrection. Alleluia! Alleluia!
