2nd November - All Souls
Let us then die with Christ, to live with Christ. We should have a daily familiarity with death, a daily desire for death. By this kind of detachment our soul must learn to free itself from the desires of the body - Saint Ambrose.
Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, all the angels and saints, we beg for an outpouring of Your Divine Mercy upon every poor sinner and every poor soul in Purgatory. Cleanse them all, especially our families and friends who have died, and bring them into the full beauty and splendor of Your presence. Please also pour Your mercy down upon our poor souls, and free us from every sin and every attachment we have to sin. Increase our virtue, and draw us into union with You, our God. (My Catholic Life)
