The homily reminded me that Undas is not just a day to visit the cemetery—it is a

moment to remember our loved ones with sincerity. The priest explained that the things we bring

should express love and respect, like flowers and candles. Flowers show our gratitude for the

life they lived, and candles symbolize prayers and hope for their peaceful rest. I realized that

these simple offerings matter more than anything else because they come from the heart.

On the other hand, bringing speakers, gambling cards, or food for the dead takes away

the real purpose of visiting the cemetery. These things can distract us from praying and

reflecting. Instead of turning Undas into a noisy or entertaining event, we should focus on

remembering our loved ones and strengthening our faith. The homily reminded me to keep the

tradition meaningful, respectful, and centered on prayer.

12-MATTHIAS

CLE

The homily made me reflect on what truly honors the souls of our departed loved

ones. Flowers represent the beauty and fragility of life, while candles bring light to remind us

that God’s love guides the souls of those who have gone ahead of us. These simple things are

symbols of faith, hope, and remembrance. They help us connect spiritually with our loved ones

and offer prayers that come from a peaceful heart.

The priest also reminded us of what we should NOT bring: loud music, gambling, or

food offerings. These do not help the souls of the departed, nor do they bring us closer to God.

Instead, they turn the cemetery into a place of distraction and noise. The message of the homily

taught me that Undas should be a time for silence, prayer, and reflection—an opportunity to

honor the dead with respect, and to renew our own relationship with God.
