Just Another Holy Eve?
WHEN I awoke this morning, an unexpected and bizarre cloud hung over my soul. I sensed a strong spirit of violence and death
in the air all around me. As I drove into town, I took my Rosary out,
and invoking the name of Jesus, prayed for God’s protection. It took me
about three hours and four cups of coffee to finally figure out what I
was experiencing, and why: it’s Halloween today.
No, I’m not going to delve into the the history of this
strange American “holiday” or wade into the debate on whether to
participate in it or not. A quick search of these topics on the Internet
will provide ample reading in between ghouls arriving at your door,
threatening tricks in lieu of treats.
Rather, I want to look at what Halloween has become, and how it is a harbinger, another “sign of the times.”
