Way quote. EWTN family prayer for the deceasedI

Blood of Christ, pledge of Eternal Life, save us.

Blood of Christ, freeing souls from purgatory, save us.

Blood of Christ, most worthy of all glory and honor, save us.

Jesus, we trust in You!

The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment shall touch them. They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead; and their passing away was thought an affliction and their going forth from us, utter destruction. But they are in peace. For if to others, indeed, they seem punished, yet is their hope full of immortality; Chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed, because God tried them and found them worthy of Himself. As gold in the furnace, He proved them, and as sacrificial offerings He took them to himself. In the time of their judgment they shall shine and dart about as sparks through stubble; They shall judge nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord shall be their King forever. Those who trust in Him shall understand truth, and the faithful shall abide with Him in love: Because grace and mercy are with His holy ones, and His care is with the elect.” –Wisdom 3:1-9

 

They that hope in the Lord will renew their strength, they will soar on eagles’ wings. –Isaiah 40: 31

The commemoration of all the faithful departed is celebrated by the Church on the 2nd of November, All Souls’ Day. ♣

HOPE does not disappoint. (Romans 5:5)

Hope, O my soul, hope. (Saint Teresa of Avila)
