Let eternal light shine on them, Lord,
as with Your saints in eternity,
because You are merciful.
Grant them eternal rest, Lord,
and let perpetual light shine on them,
as with Your saints in eternity,
because You are merciful. –
–
Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine,
cum sanctis tuis in aeternum,
quia pius es.
Requiem aeternum dona eis, Domine,
et Lux perpetua luceat eis,
cum Sanctus tuis in aeternum,
quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.

The post Nov 02 – Homily – Fr Benedict: The Holy Souls: Be Strengthened in Hope first appeared on AirMaria.com.

Today we pray for deceased Franciscans of the Immaculate. Father Dominic tells us if we always remember death like St. Francis did, then we will live more worthy of heaven. Other ways to avoid purgatory is to be loving and merciful to others, to accept the sufferings that come to us, and to trust in God’s mercy. Finally, meditating on those who persevered until the end is a great encouragement for our own fidelity to our vocations.

Ave Maria!
