Remind Halloween of its Baptismal Promises
Manage episode 220018865 series 2294070
Catholics have the ability to celebrate Halloween better. Halloween can be reduced to a glorification of gore, terror, fear, and even the demonic, but it really points to something much greater. When Christians think of death, we recall that Jesus conquered death, and has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life. In fact, we should remember our death everyday, and allow it to spur us toward holiness.
So don’t turn off the lights and stay home. Celebrate in the right way, a way that reminds Halloween of its baptismal promises.
