All Souls Day

We take this day to remember all those loved ones who have died. Most parishes have a "Book of the Names of the Dead" in which parishioners can write the names of those they wish to have remembered. This book is usually placed near the Paschal Candle and remains there from All Souls Day through the month of November or until the beginning of Advent.

Blessed Pope John Paul II quoting Gaudium et Spes, writes that intrinsically evil acts are “any kind of homicide, genocide, abortion, euthanasia and voluntary suicide; whatever violates the integrity of the human person, such as mutilation, physical and mental torture and attempts to coerce the spirit; whatever is offensive to human dignity, such as subhuman living conditions, arbitrary imprisonment, deportation, slavery, prostitution and trafficking in women and children; degrading conditions of work which treat laborers as mere instruments of profit, and not as free responsible person: all these and the like are a disgrace …and they are a negation of the honor due to the Creator” (Vertatis Splendor, 80).

Sandy blasts East Coast
God shelters, rescues, and secures us for the future, the psalmist assures us this Sunday. East Coast residents need that assurance this week as Hurricane Sandy, one of the biggest storms ever to hit the United States, batters the densely populated East Coast, shutting down transportation, forcing evacuations in flood-prone areas, and interrupting the presidential campaign.
