Following immediately after our celebration of All Saints, we commemorate the Feast of All Souls, holding in prayer all who have died. As the leaves fall and the days shorten, we as Church approach the end of our liturgical year, and our Scripture readings reflect this reality. Our focus turns toward our own mortality, judgment, and to the coming of the fullness of God's Kingdom.
You might make this prayer a part of your daily prayer throughout the month of November:
Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen
