On this day, the Church celebrates all the saints: canonised or beatified, and the multitude of those who are in heaven enjoying the beatific vision that are only known to God . God our Father, source of all holiness, the work of your hands is manifest in your saints, the beauty of your truth is reflected in their faith.
May we who aspire to have part in their joy be filled with the Spirit that blessed their lives, that having shared their faith on earth we may also know their peace in your kingdom.
Grant this through Christ, our Lord. Feast of All Souls Tomorrow (Mon), on the Feast of All Souls, we are encouraged to remember and pray for the faithful departed, those members of our families and dearly beloved who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith.
