The Feast of All Souls

Yesterday we honored all those saints in heaven praying for us.

Today we pray for those who have died (who have not been canonized) and ask for God's mercy on them.

I'm praying especially for:

Clyde and Nora M.
Michael and Johanna S.
Charles and Mary R.
William and Millicent E.
Viola T.
Ernie and Phyllis M.
Father De
Father M
COL Kelly

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
And may perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of the faithfully departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
Amen.

Add the names of those you are remembering today in the comments, and I will include them in my prayers as well.

You've inspired me. I was going to skip my trip to the cemetary for an indulgence, but we will go and add your Holy Souls to our list (Jesse Mapson).

My mother Julia
my grandfather Jamie
my inlaws John and Margaret
my BIL John
my aunties Clara, Martha, Caroline
my uncles Curtis and Louie
my grandparents Jack and Barbara


We make a list and post it next to our home altar for the month of November, remembering and praying for these souls morning and evening each day.

May any indulgences we receive today help the poor souls in purgatory, especially those we knew in this life. Amen
