What We Remember in November
November is a month to pray for the faithful departed and contemplate the body of Christ and the life of the world to come.

As the year closes, let’s close our books on our fellow man: Isn’t it time to sweep away some pride and forgive?
COMMENTARY: Fulfilling our Christian duty on All Souls’ Day and during the month of November
The specific Nov. 2 plenary indulgence one can receive for their own soul by visiting a church or an oratory and reciting an Our Father and the Creed, can now also be done on any day in November.
November reminds us that there have been many others at the same work of salvation that we are, praying many of the same prayers that we do, going to the same Mass that we do, receiving the same sacraments that we do.
In an interview with Vatican News, Cardinal Piacenza said that bishops had requested an extended timeframe for the plenary indulgence, considering the importance of the commemoration of the feasts of All Saints’ Day on Nov. 1 and All Souls’ Day on Nov. 2.
November is an opportunity for the Church to pray for the dead and evangelize about man’s last enemy, death
November’s focus on death and the next world seems less prominent today. Perhaps we should not be surprised.
