It is hard to believe it is already November. The month of November is traditionally a time when the Catholic faithful remember those who have died. The end of November is the end of the Liturgical Year with a new year starting the First Sunday of Advent as we prepare during Advent for the coming of the Lord at Christmas. The Church uses this end of the year period as a time to reflect upon the end of life and the end times and the great hope that our earthly end is transition into a new life in God’s heavenly reality. In the month of remembrance, may we give thanks for those who have gone before us. As we lift up our prayers for our deceased loved ones and family members, may we place our hope in their new life in heaven and our desire to join them there one day. Have a blessed week everyone - Father Lincoln.
This is a blog of homilies, reflections, and photos from a Roman Catholic priest serving in the Diocese of Jackson in the state of Mississippi. Currently, I am the pastor of Holy Savior in Clinton and Immaculate Conception in Raymond. I have served as Vicar General of the Diocese since July 2019. I also serve as Catholic chaplain in the federal prison in Yazoo City and the state prison in Pearl.
