Today is a special day where special prayers were offered to our dearly beloved friends and family members that had departed. You will notice how clean the graves, and people flocked from all around to return home to visit and offer prayers and putting flowers on the graves of people who once were still alive, living and breathing among us, but now, only lingers in our minds and prayers. All Soul's Day, as it was known - the day that comes after All Saint's Day (1st November), is where the faithful Catholics would held a special Mass to pray for the souls of the departed, hoping to assist the souls from Purgatory to Heaven. This day too, where the blessing of the graves will take place. But in this day of praying for the souls of people who are dear to us, let us also not forget to all souls in the purgatory where no one ever prayed for them. Souls for the babies whom were died of abortion, killing or miscarriages, for all of them has soul too. They might be still waiting, hoping someone would remember and pray for them as much as we pray for the souls of the people we knew. The late John Paul II once stated "Christian love knows no boundaries and goes beyond the limits of space and time, enabling us to love those who already love this earth."Let us not also forget, that praying for the souls of the departed is not only during All Soul's Day, but each and every time we pray, do remember them in our prayers as they really in great need from us. God Bless."It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they maybe loose from sins." - 2 Maccabees 12:46 Prayer of St. Getrude to the Holy Souls
O Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today for all the holy souls in Purgatory and for sinners everywhere -- for sinners in the Universal Church, for those in my own own home and for those within my family. Amen.
