All Soul’s Day Prayer

The past two years have been difficult to say the least for the family. There is a feeling in my heart that this year Hallows Even, All Saints (All Hallows Day), All Souls should be acknowledged with great reverence. And so the reluctant Catholic wrote a prayer to ease my own spirit. In memory of the departed
Celebrate the fall harvest on Oct 31, Pray to the Saints on Nov 1, and simply remember the Souls on Nov 2.

All Soul’s Day Prayer
It is on this day of All Soul’s that we offer to you our prayers for the dearly departed.
Forgive their transgressions and foibles.
For humanity is merely clay that must be knead with faith, it must be molded with charity, and tempered with hope.
Let those departed be warmed by your radiance and know the grace of your gift of peace.
