Requiem æternam
From the Catechism: "From the beginning, the Church has honoured the memory of the dead and offered prayers in suffrage for them, above all the Eucharistic sacrifice, so that, thus purified, they may attain the beatific vision of God.”
November is the month of prayer for the faithful departed, especially today on All Souls day, and my sermon for today can be read here.
In this photo, Dominican nuns are seen praying at the cemetery of their monastery.
