The Church is mater et magistra—mother and teacher. And as teacher, she has divided the liturgical year into seasons, each having their own emphasis—their own “curriculum” as it were. In November, the Church has us remember our end. Starting with All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, the month is dedicated to remembering the faithful departed. Being a good teacher, the Church keeps the end in mind.
