ZENIT, OCTOBER 31, 2007
VATICAN CITY - Benedict XVI invited the faithful to take advantage of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day to reflect on life in the light of eternity.
The Pope made this invitation today when he greeted the sick, newlyweds and the young at the end of the general audience in St. Peter's Square.
The Church celebrates the feast of All Saints on Nov. 1, and the commemoration of all the faithful departed on Nov. 2.
The Holy Father said he hoped these two celebrations "would be for each one a fruitful occasion to raise our sights to heaven and contemplate the future, final and definitive realities that await us."
