Pray for the Faithful Departed on All Souls' Day!
Pray for the Faithful Departed on All Souls' Day!
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!
Send us the names of your deceased loved ones and they will share in the graces of the Masses offered at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy: click here.

Turn to any page of St. Faustina’s Diary, and you’ll find spiritual gems, like this one: Thursday. Although I was very tired today, I nevertheless resolved to make a Holy Hour. I could not pray, nor could I remain kneeling, but I remained in prayer for a whole hour and united myself in spirit with those souls who are already worshiping God in the perfect way. [Then Jesus said to me,] Your prayer is extremely pleasing to Me (Diary, 691).
Our Lady asked the Fatima children to pray the Rosary every day. Father Joe explains that the intention is for peace, the conversion of sinners, and the conversion of our own hearts, which takes time.
St. Faustina was taken to Purgatory and said the souls call Mary "Star of the Sea." Why? Why has Mary been called this title for over 1,000 years? What is the meaning of it and why does it matter to us today? Hear Fr. Chris Alar tell the very interesting story.
