All Souls’ Day: All Souls’ Day, or Commemoration of All The Faithful Departed, and the Day of the Dead
is a day of prayer and remembrance of the souls of those who have died.
It is a holy day set aside for honoring the dead, in the Universal Catholic Church.
Praying for the dead is a Christian obligation. The Church devotes the month of November to prayer for all the souls departed, that all will be made pure before entering into the presence of God in Heaven.
We are all part of the Communion of the Saints — alive and dead — and we are all destined for life in Heaven, where we will be welcomed by Jesus and by our friends, for whom we have been praying all along.
May they rest in peace eternally.
