November 2-11
In times of mourning it feels as though a part of us has died; such is the depth of the grief we endure. We can affirm that in such moments grief unites us—family, friends, and even mere acquaintances—as if we were members of a single human family, standing in solidarity with one another as we face that common, inevitable destiny: death. Grief renders us humble, powerless, and compassionate.
November is quickly approaching, the time for Catholics to remember our relatives and loved ones who have left this world.

Submit your intentions for the All Souls Novena and reflect on how St. Thérèse’s lived the theological virtue of Love with Fr. Luis Castañeda, OCD. The Novena starts November 2.
As the days, months, and years go by, the pain oppresses us less, and the absence becomes more tolerable, however, our dead always need our prayers. Together in prayer with the Word of God, as one family, let us hope for the redemption of the deceased and ourselves.
As Christians, when we are mourning the death of a loved one we feel the need to pray for the person who passed away and for all those suffering from that loss.
