Through the love of those we have lost and the support of our cloud of witnesses, we are invited to carry each other’s grief with compassion and hope until we are united again in heaven.

This homily reflects on how the Eucharist is God's complete expression of love, with Jesus portrayed as a magnifying lens through which divine love is focused to ignite our hearts, as inspired by an analogy from Thomas Merton.

This homily explores the types of blindness we experience: blindness to God's past actions, to the future without faith, and the most fruitful—insight we gain through prayer and reflection.
