All Souls’ Day – Commemoration

A day dedicated to remembering our deceased loved ones through prayer, intercessions, alms as well as visiting cemeteries. People pray for the souls in purgatory and help them gain indulgences. According to the Catholic doctrine, prayers of the faithful help cleanse the souls in purgatory so they eventually enter heaven. It is believed that the souls are not perfectly cleansed from sins on departing from the body and so they cannot fit yet in the visions of God.

Having celebrated the feast of all the members of the church who are believed to be in heaven on the November 1, the church has assigned the following day to commemorate the souls in purgatory.

Prayer For Protection Over Your Family

Lord, Thank you for my beautiful family. It worries me that I cannot protect them from all of the evil in this world. I am on my knees asking for your help. Please watch over my family today when they step out the front door. Send an angel to guide them home safely and avoid any harm they may face. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Solemnity of All Saints (All Saints’ Day)

Daily Saints, Philippine Holiday

Also known as the Feast of All Saints, it is a day that commemorates all the saints in the Christian church. During the reign of Pope Gregory III in 731-741, he dedicated a chapel in St. Peter’s in honour of all the saints. This is the first evidence of celebrating the saints’ day on November 1.

Prior to this, holding a feast for all the saints have already been observed. During the 4th century, there was a commemoration of all the martyrs. In the time of Pope Boniface IV, he rededicated a shrine– Pantheon– to all the martyrs. The purpose of the rededication is so “that the memory of all saints might in the future be honored in the place which had formerly been dedicated to the worship not of gods but of demons.” (On the Calculation of Time).
