Catholics are taught that God created spiritual beings, including the angels, which are pure spirits. Human beings are beings that have both bodies and spirits. Sometimes those spirits get “stuck.”

For All the Saints and Souls
My dear brothers and sisters in the Lord,
This past week we celebrated three important days in our Church year. The Vigil of All Saints, commonly known as Halloween, which has become a secularized observance that soon may outspend the expenditures of Christmas itself. Halloween has become an opportunity for spending money on costumes, candies, pumpkins, and decorations which underneath it all is a search for spiritual meaning as I have interpreted this observance.
