Where are the dead? We have only one answer. They are in Christ. They live in Christ. Though they 'died,' they live, because Christ lives. The remembering of the dead makes sense only within the communion in Christ as one body. All are part of that body. The body remembers the members in gratitude and love. Those who are unknown are remembered in generosity and charity. All being in communion is the joy of the entire body.
This communion reminds us to live in Christ, in communion with him and with others. Died to sin, died in Christ all have a new self, that is being part of the body of Christ. It is everyone's role to strengthen, comfort, console one another.
