All Souls Day, November 2
|
This important time of reverence for our saints, and
of recollection and rememberance for the dead, has
been lost by default to the commercialism and foolishness of the time.
We all need to make better use of this time of the year to celebrate the
true meaning of All Souls Day in recollection and rememberance for the dead.
"The Church, as the Mystical Body of Christ,
had gradually, through the centuries,
attained significant development through
the institution of feasts destined to commemorate
and glorify the mysteries of salvation."
