Pray For the Souls of the Dead

Today is All Souls Day.  On this day, and throughout the month of November we are intended to pray in a special way for the souls in Purgatory,
We, the members of the Church Militant, have a vital role in obtaining the release of the souls in Purgatory. Then once those members of the Church Suffering have joined the Church Triumphant, they will pray for us while we’re on earth and when we’re in Purgatory ourselves.
It is the way the Body of Christ is designed to work, and we have to keep up our end of the bargain.
And so, I went to Mass today to pray for Mom, Ron (Joe's brother) and our neighbor, Tom , in particular, and for the deceased members of my family and Joe's family. I wrote their names in the Book of Remembrance so that the parish will pray for them all month.
I ask you, my few readers, to pray for these souls this month:
Rita Perzel
Ron Kessen
Bob and Ruth Kessen
Russel and Clara Bravard
John and Mary Perzel
Oscar and Loretta Matt
Tom Hall

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
Amen
