“Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.”
We believe in the Communion of Saints – the communion between the Saints triumphant in Heaven, the holy ones laboring on earth, and those suffering in purgatory but assured of eternal life. So in preparation for Commemoration of All Souls' Day, we remember and pray for those who have gone before us, and we also pray that their good example stirs us on to follow more closely the way of Jesus Christ, the way that leads to God’s Kingdom in Heaven.
On November 2nd, we celebrate All Soul’s Day to commemorate and pray for the souls of our loved ones. The passing of our loved ones is not the end. It is, actually the beginning of eternal life. Submit your prayer request for your loved ones today, November 1st, so they may be included in our special prayer session.
