We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose, so too will God, Through Jesus, bring with him those who have fallen asleep.

 1 Thes. 4:13-14

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 In November we are stirred by the fall season and the weather to think about our relatives and friends who have passed away recently or long ago. This time of the year gives us the opportunity to think about them and also to help them with our prayers. Prayer is the only way in which we connect with them on our world. It is a very special channel which joins us with them by the power of God.

Throughout November the Church prays for all who are in the purifying fires of Purgatory, waiting for the day when they will join the company of the saints in heaven. The celebration of Mass is the highest means the Church can provide for charity for the dead, but we can also relieve their sufferings through our prayers, sufferings and penances.
