The Vigil of All Saints: The True Meaning Behind Halloween | On Holiness and the Occult

About this sermon

Halloween, the occult, and the call to holiness: this Catholic sermon for the Vigil of All Saints urges families to prepare for heaven, protect their children, and keep the saints at the center of their celebrations. Drawing on warnings attributed to exorcist Fr. Gabriele Amorth, the preacher critiques modern Halloween practices and recommends prayer, reparation, and All Saints’ parties. He also reflects on what frightening seasonal imagery may reveal about society’s attitudes toward death, judgment, and the afterlife. The sermon’s central message is one of hope: the saints show that holiness is possible. God has given us the means to pursue it—and our opportunity to respond is now. 00:00 Opening prayer and the glory of the saints 00:15 The Vigil of All Saints 00:46 Warnings attributed to Fr.
