In November, the Church asks that we focus our prayers on the Holy Souls in Purgatory. The Catechism explains: All who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.

In November, the Church asks that we focus our prayers on the Holy Souls in Purgatory. The Catechism explains: All who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven. (CCC 1030)And we can help make that happen! Beginning on All Saints' Day on November 1, the faithful can gain a plenary indulgence-applicable only to the Holy Souls- every day for eight days by praying for the dead in a cemetery. On November 2 only, the plenary indulgence can be gained in either a cemetery or in a Church. Any prayers can be used. Our favorites are included here. Praying for the dead in our local cemetery each year has become a tradition that we really value. Even our little kids can understand how important it is to pray for and make sacrifices for those who can no longer do so for themselves. We use this month to remember the beloved dead in our own family, and to pray specifically for souls who don't have anyone else to pray for them.The month begins with the celebration of those who have already made it to the final goal: heaven! On All Saints' Day we remember all our favorite saints on the liturgical calendar, but especially all the saints in heaven who haven't been officially canonized, and so don't have their own feast days. These even include our own beloved dead who we have reason to hope died in God's grace and without attachment to sin.November saints who do have their own feast days include Saint Martin of Tours and Saint Catherine of Alexandria. Included in this booklet are prayers to and/or by them, plus prayers for Veterans'/Remembrance Day and a cool historical litany to the Fourteen Holy Helpers (of which Saint Catherine is one). The month, and the liturgical year, end with the Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, and one last opportunity to gain a plenary indulgence.
