"Last weekend, I heard an old song on an oldies radio station called "A Song for You." This song was written and recorded in 1970 by rock singer and pianist Leon Russell. It has been described as a slow, painful plea for forgiveness and understanding from a man who had broken up with his girlfriend after a long-term relationship. . . .
"I heard The Carpenters' version of the song on All Souls Day. Besides the heartfelt voice of Karen Carpenter, the words of the song reminded me of our Christian belief in the communion of saints. Our celebration of All Saints and our commemoration of all the faithful departed tells us that we are not alone in our faith life. We are together on our journey through this valley of tears. . . ."
In a recent commentary, Father Jack Kolodziej, OSFS, reflected on November and the Communion of Saints
