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.
Listen to Fr. Daniel Klimek explain the mystical life of saints and the different stages of prayer.
From both Scripture and Sacred Tradition, the Church teaches that we must be cleared of any remaining moral debt to God.
Since every single grace comes from prayer, we need to make it part of our busy lives. Father Chris suggests the four best times for prayer: when we wake up, at meals, when receiving the Sacraments, and before we go to sleep.
