Friends of the Rosary, Today, November 2, after celebrating the feast of All Saints, the Catholic Church prays for all who are in the purifying suffering of Purgatory, awaiting the day to join the heavenly glory. It’s the Commemoration of the All the Faithful Departed, All Souls’ Day. The Catechism states (CCC 1030-1031), “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 to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven. The Church gives the name Purgatory to this final purification of the elect, which is entirely different from the punishment of the damned.”  Therefore, we remember all those who have fallen asleep in the Lord, imploring God to grant them a place of happiness, light, and peace. We pray for the Faithful Departed, especially during the “octave” of All Souls, from November 1st to the 8th. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • November 2, 2024, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET
