During this month we remember the Holy Souls in purgatory, especially all of those close to us who have departed in the past year. This month should not be a time of sadness but with a time of renewed confidence that we will meet our loved ones again in our eternal life.
Let us pray,

God our Father, Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives and by Your command we return to dust.
Lord, those who die still live in Your presence, their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for my family, relatives and friends, and for all the dead known to You alone.
Amen.

School Prayer
Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day.
May I live it completely for You,
Through you,
With You and in you. Amen
