Remember to Pray for the Dead
October 12, 2009
We have been praying many funeral masses in the last few months. From the earliest days of the church, it has been a tradition to pray for the deceased, that they may enter into heavenly glory.
The Commemoration of All Souls Day is coming in a few weeks, a day on which we will remember the deceased in a special way, but it is a laudable practice to pray daily for our beloved dead.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon them
May they rest in peace.
Amen.
