31st
Sunday in Ordinary Time
November
is the month of the Holy Souls when we pray for
all our dead relatives and friends. Each weekday
10am Mass during November will be offered for
all those mentioned in our November Dead Lists.
‘Those
who die in grace
Go no further from us
Than God
And God is very near.’
Eternal
rest grant unto them O Lord and let perpetual
light shine upon them may they rest in peace.
Amen.

| Questions
People Ask
 |
Why
should we pray for the souls in purgatory?
|
Answer |
Just
as one part of the physical body can help
another by soothing a suffering or sharing
a burden, as parts of the Mystical Body of
Christ we can help one another in spiritual
ways. Membership of the Mystical Body extends
beyond the grave. For our beloved departed
who are being purified until they reflect
the total brightness of the beatific vision,
our ways of spiritual assistance are prayer,
especially participation in Mass, works of
generosity and offering our sufferings in
union with the redemptive suffering of Jesus. |
