All Hallows Eve (Halloween) has been coopted by the occult world. It’s time to reclaim this great feast day in which we honor the countless saints who are in heaven. 

Allhallowtide, also known as Hallowtide, is a term that encompasses the three-day observance of All Saints’ Eve (Halloween), All Saints’ Day, and All Souls’ Day, celebrated from October 31 to November 2. This period is traditionally used to reflect on and honor the lives and memories of saints, martyrs, and the dearly departed.

The origins of Allhallowtide can be traced back to ancient pagan festivals, particularly the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. This time of year was believed to be a threshold between the world of the living and the dead, where spirits could roam more freely. It was also thought to be a time when communities could come together to celebrate and remember those who had passed on.

On Halloween, people often engage in various activities such as trick-or-treating, costume parties, and communal gatherings. The night is filled with playful elements of spookiness, largely derived from the celebrations of old.

According to Farther Leo, it is a Catholic Christian Celebration see his post on YouTube The Catholic Truth About Halloween: History, Theology, and How to Celebrate It Faithfully!

All Saints’ Day, observed on November 1, is a solemn occasion in many Christian traditions. It is a day to commemorate all saints, known and unknown, who have contributed to the faith. The day is often marked by attending church services, lighting candles, and offering prayers in remembrance.

Following this, All Souls’ Day on November 2 is dedicated to honoring all deceased individuals. This day serves as a reminder to pray for the souls in purgatory and to acknowledge the impact of loved ones who have passed away. Families often visit cemeteries, light candles, and leave flowers on graves as a way to celebrate and remember those they have lost.

Overall, Allhallowtide is a vibrant blend of historical traditions, community gatherings, and spiritual reflection, creating a powerful time for remembrance and celebration. is a three-day Western Christian observance from October 31 to November 2, dedicated to remembering the dead. The festival incorporates All Hallows’ Eve (Halloween), All Saints’ Day, and All Souls’ Day. The name comes from the Old English words hallow, meaning “holy” or “saint,” and tide, meaning “time” or “season”.

Days of Allhallowtide

All Hallows’ Eve (October 31): The first day of Allhallowtide, also known as Halloween, is the vigil for All Saints’ Day. Its traditions were influenced by the ancient Celtic harvest festival of Samhain, which believed the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead was thinnest at this time of year. Early Christian practices for this vigil included fasting and prayer.

All Saints’ Day (November 1): This day, also called All Hallows’ Day or Hallowmas, honors all Christian saints, both known and unknown. In Western traditions, it is a Holy Day of Obligation for Catholics and a Principal Feast for Anglicans, with services often including visits to gravesites and placing flowers or candles.

All Souls’ Day (November 2): This day is dedicated to praying for the souls of all the faithful departed, especially those in purgatory. It became widely observed in Europe in the 11th century. Visiting cemeteries and praying for loved ones’ souls are common traditions. In some countries, including Mexico, this day and All Saints’ Day overlap with the vibrant Día de los Muertos celebration.
Traditions and symbolism

Trick-or-treating: This tradition evolved from the practice of “souling,” where poorer people or children would go door-to-door on All Souls’ Day asking for “soul cakes” in exchange for prayers for the dead.

Visiting graves: During this period, it is common for families to visit the graves of deceased relatives to leave candles and flowers as a form of remembrance and prayer.

Liturgical focus: The three-day period is a time for solemn reflection on mortality and the spiritual connection between the living, the saints in heaven, and the faithful departed.
Allhallowtide in modern times

While Halloween is often celebrated separately as a secular holiday, many Christian denominations still observe the full Allhallowtide triduum has the Chaplaincy of Eric Michel Ministries International. The observance helps remind the faithful of their spiritual heritage and connection to the dead. Some churches, including many Anglican and Lutheran congregations, have also added a “Remembrance Sunday” in November to honor war dead and persecuted Christians.

The Thomistic Institute

Aquinas 101

Angels are beings or substances that are spirits. Angels have intellect and will, and so exorcise knowledge and love. Still, they do not have bodies. Each angel is essentially a center of consciousness without a body. Angels do not see, taste, smell, touch, hear, imagine or recall sensory things, and they do not have sensory passions; they do not eat,

sleep, smile, laugh, marry, make love or have children, and they’re not babies flying around with wings. Aquinas says: ‘In how the angels interfere with us, they are influencing the physical things or people in the place.”

This definition also applies to Holly Mary, and this is how she protected me.

miracle noun

An extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs, the healing miracles described in the Gospels.

An extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment. The bridge is a miracle of engineering.

Christian Science: a divinely natural phenomenon experienced humanly as the fulfillment of spiritual law.

I do not know if it was a miracle, but this event happened to me in 1983.
This story begins at the beginning of the 70s, when I was a passenger in my friend Gaetan H.’s car. We drove around the Outaouais most of the time, but occasionally we drove up to Montreal to spend a few hours there. Then it was a four hours drive down and back in Hull (Gatineau today).

On a few occasions, he brought me to visit Montreal churches Notre-Dame and St Joseph Oratory, but not simultaneously, La Ronde, the cinema, bars and restaurants.

One time at the Oratory, when you go out of the primary worship place, there is an escalator to go down. Just across the escalator is a souvenir boutique; I do not know why, but I purchased a Holy Mary Car Magnet to be stuck on the car’s dashboard. The cars’ dashboards were made of metal then. I didn’t have a car, and I didn’t even have a car driver’s licence. So, during my motorcycle time, I stuck Mary on the tachometer.

One day, at lunch hour at work, my friend Denis invited me to have a beer with him, so we went to a bar on Portage St. After one beer, he said I must go home for supper. I worked the evening shift, so it was lunch for me; he wanted me to go with him to his residence for supper, and I would be back on the job in no time. I didn’t want to go, but he convinced me; Denis was driving a Honda Goldwing, and I, the Suzy 1980 GS1100. From Highway 5, there are two exits to go to his place. One was the St. Raymond exit, and the other exit was Blvd Mont Bleu; I was in front of him, aiming at Mont Bleu. I looked in my mirror and saw him going off to St Raymond. So, to be at his place simultaneously, I accelerate up to 80MPH, passing a car, and then it happens.

I don’t remember the month, but it was probably in June; the bike was out of storage in May. At the same time, I asked Honda of Outaouais to do maintenance and a few repairs. It cost a fortune to take it out, but the mechanic told me that it leaked from my front fork. That needs to be addressed; no more cash, so it was ok to drive at an average speed. That year, Suzuki put oil and air in the front fork, and the air leaked.

Carrying on with the story, the motorbike, at that speed, starts to zigzag and wobble, and it slows down to maybe 50 or 40 MPh, and it flips, and the bike and I start to slide for a good two to three hundred feet.

I was terrified of three things:
Will I hit the cement divider? I’m in the passing lane.
The bike is in front of me. Will I hit it if it stops sliding before me?
Is a car coming to run me over?

It was a scorching day. I had never done this before, but I didn’t wear my leather jacket that day.

The result was a second-degree burn in my arms and back.
Treatment: in Hull hospital, a swirl bath in water and iodine.
I was sure of dying, and it didn’t happen. Why?

A few days later, I probed my jeans pockets and found my Holy Mary Magnet all bent out of shape. My father told me that she saved me, probably lifting me off the ground and watching the surroundings so nothing worse would happen. I believed in Divine intervention through Mary.

Dear Brothers,

Again, as you may have noticed, I am not as often on Facebook as usual, as I am very busy with administrative tasks. I am working to establish a partnership with a church corporation in Africa. From email letters to email responses, they require a lot of information and request even more.

Last Sunday, I participated in a virtual global online celebration of the Jubilee with the Roman Catholic Church, during the month I was working with the Africa Network BFTF. Worked on the profile at the National Association of Ministers. I have a multitude of invitations that I couldn’t attend because there are so many.

Additionally, on the website’s auxiliary pages, I added the “[Belief of New Life Catholic Ministry](https://franciscanseucharist.ca/belief-of-new-life…/)” page and the Tithe “[https://franciscanseucharist.ca/tithe](https://franciscanseucharist.ca/tithe)” page, which should be of interest to everyone.

Additionally, I worked on our Structure (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/…), where the organogram I created not long ago didn’t match what we have on file. So I redo it correctly and adequately. You will notice that it has names that say ‘not official.’ That is because I didn’t receive the documents that Monsignor Celestin requested a few weeks ago. I need those documents to proceed with our organization and partnership with a third party. Please be obliged to send all documents to our Superintendent Bishop Celestin, who will send a copy to me.
