A reflection on the Solemnity of All Souls, November 2, touching on the mystery of death and the afterlife including heaven, hell, and purgatory, and the validity of prayers for the dead.

Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales

just completed the Holy Souls in Purgatory Novena
all intentions for our faithfully departed were included
Mass was offered today also for them (Denise i didnt know your mum's surname so put on the Mass request card "Denise's mum and brothers and deceased family members) ...The Lord knows who I meant.
may they rest in eternal peace.
"He who followeth Me, walketh not in darkness." sayeth the Lord
