All Saints Day & All Souls' Day

 


 

All Saints' Day, also known as the Solemnity of All Saints occurs today and is celebrated in honor of all the saints of the church, whether they are known or unknown. Technically, tomorrow is All Souls' Day, also known as the Commemoration of All the Faithfully Departed is a day of prayer and remembrance observed by Roman Catholics. In many ways, both days end up being celebrated in a unified fashion either on one day or the other.  

My wife and I will be going to Mass this evening.

In a special way I hope to remember the following:

Saint/Brother André Bessette of Quebec.
Blessed/Brother Solanus Casey of Wisconsin

My Dad
My Mom
My Aunt Agatha
My Uncle Chester
My Uncle Kasper
Fr. Robert D.
Fr. William T.
Fr. Keith C.

    There goes the Catholic Church, piggybacking on pagan holidays once more. My fave pagan holiday is Christmas. 😇

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
