Do You Pray for the Holy Souls?
Turn to any page of St. Faustina's Diary, and you'll find spiritual gems. Like this one:

On Nov. 2 of each year, The Catholic Church observes the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, otherwise better known as All Souls' Day. It is on this day that we honor those who have passed on from this life, as we pray that they may be purified before entering into the Kingdom of Heaven! So today, be sure to offer up your prayers for your own departed loved ones, as well as the souls suffering in Purgatory!
Are you in the habit of praying the Chaplet for the dying? Jesus told St. Faustina:“At the hour of their death, I defend as My own glory every soul that will say this Chaplet; or when others say it for a dying person, the pardon is the same” (811).
