Holy Souls

The month of November provides us with the perfect opportunity to aid the suffering souls in Purgatory whose “greatest torment … was longing for God.” November is dedicated to the Holy Souls in Purgatory.

Especially during the month of November, dedicated to the Holy Souls, let us turn now to prayer, and mercy, and the sort of community healing that Jesus, Pope Leo, and the saints call us to do. Let us do our work as Christians — the world needs it more than ever before.

The reaction of many people coming to Church on the weekend after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and of many more going to Rosaries, vigils, or other times of prayer in response to his death — feels a little like a movement of the Holy Spirit, a response to Divine Mercy, observes Chris Sparks.

We owe our veterans a debt of gratitude that only God’s grace can repay, says Fr. Dan Cambra, MIC. As we celebrate All Souls Day, Nov. 2, let us thank God for the freedom and safety won for us by the heroic sacrifices of so many military service members, law enforcement, and first responders.

The Holy Souls need our help. One day, they may help you.
