In this month of the Holy Souls, Veterans Day must be more than just a day off. Catholics can do a great work of mercy by offering Masses, suffrages and indulgences for our veterans.
This year, let’s pray for the souls in Purgatory — that Christmas morning will find these souls joyful and triumphant, cradled in the arms of their Savior.
For souls in purgatory, their wills are basically good. They are saved. But they are not what they should be.
“Listen kindly to our prayers, O Lord, and, as our faith in your Son, raised from the dead, is deepened, so may our hope of resurrection for your departed servants also find new strength.” (Collect for All Souls’ Day)
“Let us not hesitate to help those who have died and to offer our prayers for them.” —St. John Chrysostom

Let’s not make care for the poor souls in Purgatory a mere 24-hour remembrance. Let’s make it a lifetime mission.
“Let us not hesitate to help those who have died and to offer our prayers for them.” —St. John Chrysostom
Francis explained Nov. 2 that the reason for this hope is because ‘Jesus is the one who made this journey first.’
