Please join me in the sign of our faith. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Yesterday was the Feast of All Saints Day. All Saints' Day is a happy celebration where Catholics remember and honour every single person who loves God and is now in heaven.

Today is the Feast of All Souls Day.

Throughout the month of November, Christians pray for all those who are no longer with us and now living with God in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Many of us have experienced the death of a loved one. Maybe it was a family member, grandparent, or good friend.

The death of a loved one can be a very difficult experience for us. We feel sad and lonely and sometimes may feel like it just isn't fair that our loved one died. 

Even though it is normal to feel sad and lonely when we think of our loved ones who are not with us anymore, we remember that this isn't the end of the story...it is just "until we meet again" in heaven!

Right now, I want you to take a moment to think about the people who you know have died. Let us remember the joy, laughter, and fun times we shared together.

May our Lord God's everlasting light shine upon them and may they rest in peace.

St. Michael...Pray for us.
St. Gabriel...Pray for us.
St. Raphael...Pray for us.
Holy Mary, Mother of God...Pray for us.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
