Now they just want us to connect with them.
Prayer for the dead does that and our prayers might still have to be formulated as if we are praying for them we are now simply connecting with them and what was formerly a cold, cutting absence now becomes a warm, comforting presence.

Let your Spirit guide our days on earth in the ways of holiness and justice, that we may serve you in union with the whole Churc sure in faith, strong in hope, perfect in love.
And when our earthly dwelling is ended, lead us rejoicing into your kingdom where you live for ever and ever.

WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 01st November 2026 – Solemnity of All Saints November Indulgences for the Holy Souls The Following Plenary Indulgences may be obtained for the Holy Souls in Purgatory during the First Week of November: 1. From 12 Noon on November 1st until Midnight on November 2nd all who have gone to Confession, received Holy Communion and prayed for the Pope’s Intentions (1x Our Father, 1 x Hail Mary) can gain one Plenary Indulgence by visiting a church and there reciting 1 x Our Father & 1 x the Apostles’ Creed.
This Indulgence is applicable only to the souls of the departed.
The Individual Sacramental Confession to a Priest may be made any time within a week before or after November 1st. 2. The Faithful who visit a cemetery and pray for the dead may gain a plenary indulgence (applicable only to the Holy souls) once per day from November 1st – November 8th . They must also have gone to confession, received Holy Communion and prayed for the Pope’s intentions as per #1 (above).
Once again Sacramental Confession may be made any time within a week before or after November 1st. For any Plenary Indulgence, (in addition to the prescribed prayer or action, the reception of Sacramental Confession & Holy Communion, and prayers for the Holy Father’s intentions), a person’s mind and heart must be free from all attachment to sin, even venial sin.
This detachment from sin is a great grace from God and we should pray that the Lord grant us this grace in preparation for our efforts on behalf of the Holy Souls.
If any of the above conditions are not fulfilled - the Indulgence is then only partial – but still of great benefit to our Beloved Deceased.
