Faithful & Authentic: The All Saints Parish Podcast

All Souls Day: Praying for the Dead & Asking Their Prayers for Us | Sunday Homily 11.2.25


Listen Later

On this All Souls Day, Father shares a powerful and personal reflection on praying for the faithful departed — and how they also pray for us.

 

In this homily, he talks about the nightly practice of naming those who have died, from grandparents to parishioners to priests who served before us. He explains the beauty of the Church’s teaching that our prayers assist the dead, and that the souls in purgatory can intercede on our behalf. 

You’ll hear stories such as:

  • The saints and loved ones he asks to intercede each morning

  • His nightly prayer list of the deceased

  • The connection between All Saints Day and All Souls Day

  • The hope we share in eternal life

  • How the faithful departed — even those we’ve never met — can pray for us today

     

    As we remember the dead throughout November, may we be encouraged to pray for them daily and entrust them to God’s mercy.

     

    “May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.”
